Great adventure game. Bleak as hell, very interesting story. I highly recommand it to point'n'click/adventure/survival horro adepts. Yes, it sometimes turns to survival horror, i almost died of a heart attack when a hooded cultist first chased me.
Unfortunately, the player have to sometime roam the map endlessly, and it becomes a bit boring. Despite the graphics being really good-looking, the game is poorly optimized in Direct X11, so if you have middle-end hardware like me, you'd better try Direct x9 mode and turn the antialiasing on 2x/4x.
