Game review

For starters, When I hit escape, I expect to be taken to the menu so I can quit the game. When I hit escape in this game it does nothing, forcing me to give my computer a three finger salute in order to quit. Second, the scares are less scary and more annoying than anything. The game's producers exercises the same cheap tricks used in all b-class horror media, giant shady worms, the sounds of women crying, fuzzy graphics set in a dark room, long seemingly unending corridors, and that absurd and annoying constant breathing. It is like I am playing Darth Vader. There is little narrative and nothing that I could see as worthy of being called philosophical horror. Third, the game play sucks. The intro takes too long, It took 5 minutes of clicking randomly before I could even move. I wander around a darkly lit warehouse for several minutes expecting to actually use the commands I am prompted to use, such as jumping or running or even closing my eyes (all three of which apparently do nothing to get me closer to my goal.)The level design is pretty straight forward, there are no mazelike dead ends, you just find the way out of the room. There is not even interaction or puzzles, merely find the exit. Ultimately, it left a bad taste in my mouth (and lagged the crap out of my computer despite the low end graphics) after ten minutes of play. So much so, that I have felt the need to drop the rating on this game by a bit.
