What an awesome and atmospheric game. This game is definitely a top tier game on Desura and deserves it's AAA status. It comprises of many ambient sounds as well as an atmosphere of horror. While not being an action platform game or even a survival game like Amnesia it is still riveting.
I desperately wanted to unravel the story and got ever more frightened of the actual answers to those questions as I progressed. It's like spiraling into doom or an abyss and you have no way to stop it. Never mind the graphics aren't have bad and even the voice overs are pretty decent. There are also many interactive characters that add to the story. Even environmental insects that cause severe delirium when they bite you.
All in all I recommend this to anyone that wants a more explorative version of Amnesia without the crazy monsters trying to maul you. It also poses a better story and is based of off works by H.P. Lovecraft. The opening quote says "That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die." So in conclusion this thriller game is a wonderful piece of art not just a game!
