    Darkness Within oversells its Lovecraftian theme because there's just way too much reading and not enough adventuring to keep our interest up. [Mar 2008, p.81]
  2. Expect more yawns than shrieks in this overly fussy Lovecraft-inspired horror adventure.

    The plot is incoherent, with the panache of a 12-year-old's erotic Harry Potter fiction and the finish of a turd laced with pipe cleaners and glass. [Feb 2008, p.89]

    Good story, well driven in any aspect. The game falls a bit sometimes but its very good, especially the part where you dunno what to do. TheGood story, well driven in any aspect.
