   Very atmospheric game. For lovers of creativity Lovecraft the most it. The graphics are not at an ideal level, but for me this is not the main thing.

   No esperes unos gráficos impresionantes porque el juego no va de eso, en cambio la atmósfera y la historia son impresionantes.

Se pasa mal, prepárate para esconderte y huir porque no hay peleas ni disparos. Me parece un juego imprescindible… Expand

Но я всё жеДо последнего скептически относился к игре, ибо "симуляторы ходьбы" не люблю и очень мало реально достойных представителей. Но я всё же надеялся на годноту, так как люблю Лавкрафта. Но после выхода игры и всяческих обзоров усомнился в игре. Но всё же решил оценить. И что в итоге? Я считаю, что это шикарная игра. Я её за один присест прошёл, до самого финала не мог забросить игру. В игре шикарная атмосфера, интересная детективная часть и сам сюжет интересный. Единственное, мне концовка не понравилась, которая у меня вышла. И вообще, из всех возможных концовок считаю одну только хорошей. Жаль, что я на неё не вышел. Да и стелс лучше бы не добавляли в игру, ибо он убогий, ИИ противников портит всё впечатление. Но к счастью, там стелс используется несколько раз всего. В общем любителям Лавкрафта нельзя мимо проходить, а одна из концовок очень даже порадует)… Expand

   Muy buena historia de terror pero me hubira gustado más acción. Bien pero no suficiente.

Not enough gameplay, no real exploration. I had to do it a second time after a few month to make up my mind, because there were still stuff I liked in the game, as a Lovecraft's fan. And now, I like it. Still not perfect, some parts are even bad I think, or have no logic. Like sometimes, you'll play another character, who has the same skills as the main one, who is supposed to be a detective, and a guy who can hide and stuff. But when you play someone else, it's the exact same gameplay. Too bad, I thought they could have done something great with the change of perspective, but they didn't. otherwise, it's a pretty good atmospheric game. The horror of the unseen, the story, it's familiar for fans, and a lovely love letter. Gameplay is really simple even if sometimes hard (one boss in particular, if you don't know what to do, you'll yell at your screen), graphics are not great but the artistic direction is interesting and good, sound is great.… Expand

   This game had such potential, but now I have completed it, it's potential ends in vain. As a Lovecraft fan i natrually bought this game onThis game had such potential, but now I have completed it, it's potential ends in vain. As a Lovecraft fan i natrually bought this game on release day in the UK. It is based on the author's original story but adds details and events of it's own. I've been told it mimics the board game but I cannot compare not having played it. It starts out very promising with an intruiging L.A Noire style case investigation into a family who died under suspiscious circumstances. Ass the storyline unfolds it becomes darker and blends well with the atmospherics created for it. However, the intruige halts about half way through for me when choices you make restrict you from seeing certain parts of the game without playing over from the start. It's diceroll engine provides a selection of answers depending on how capable you character is which is a nice element that clearly relates to the board game.
   Unfortunately it takes a nose dive during the second half where the lack of choice and free roam becomes more evident. The on-rails feeling reminds me of consoles in the early 2000's. Some of the choices you make also affect the endings, but these are so superficial at the time that you can miss them, or pick the wrong one, which restricts you from seeing the endings without starting over.
   Some of the skin and rock textures are very nice but the character movement is somewhat clumsy. The atmospherics and scenes of mental disturbance are well portrayed but happen so often it eventually loses effect. The voice acting is ok, not the worst at all, but conviction seems lacking in certain parts of the storyline to warrant some of the conversations you have. Some of the puzzles and routes are also so simple in places it can feel insulting. This isn't helped with the overused floating mist effect that overlays everywhere you go and the endless walking, particularly in the final chapter which seems to make you climb a set of stairs with no interaction for ten minutes in an attempt to biuld tension. The two main endings, although tense, ultimately flawed the story and could have expanded. Here is a list of positives and negatives:
   positives:
   Atmosphere
   storyline
   character skills system
   some good scenes and scares
   item and text discovery
   great intro
   good level design
   Reconstruction scenes
   
   nagatives:
   clumsy movement
   some very simple puzzles
   on rails feeling
   overused atmospherics
   monotonous set pieces
   superficial choices
   flawed and brief endings
   
   This being said, I would say that it is worth a play, especially for a fan of the genre. It could be compared structurally to games like Bioshock and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, but ultimately lacks the punch of either of those.… Expand
