Just got the game and i'm speechless. Not as "Oh my Gosh, This is the best damn thing since the past 6 months" or "Holy crap, this is crap, oh god why is this crap. Crap, crap, crap. May god forgive me for playing such crap" speechless. I indecisive between both. Half of my mind says its a good game but the other half says it sucks and there's this little [censored] thats nags me to finish the game no matter what.

well, as usual, the thread is up for discussions. Go ahead post something.

You know I have only heard bad things about this game and I'm not even sure why.

if any of you read penny arcade (and I'm sure most do) I'd have to agree with Tycho. People complain about "gimmicks" versus "innovations" but the only difference is which ones you like and which ones you don't. personally I think the game stepped out of the box in a good way and did something actually "new".

I haven't played the game myself, but there have been some things I have heard about other games that were more than undeserved so I'd be willing to give it a try.

I'd be interested to hear what people didn't like about the game and what they did

I actually like the inventory system in the game because it actually makes the game feel like a horror survival. You have limited space and you get to make weapons or utilities out of everyday items you find.

My only problem is that too soon i managed to find max ammo to soon making this game...well less scary, especially with fire bullets.

Another problem is the camera control. At certain moments, the camera will annoy you. since this game is made to feel like a tv show or a movie there will be times where the camera angle is gonna pose in a cinematic way and always, always that will suck and hamper any player progress.

Bottomline, this game introduces something new and innovative and makes the game itself interesting and attractive. Problem is the execution, if they done more work on the camera, tone down difficulty of puzzles, and improve the open sandbox levels, then this should be a good game or at least in a better shape than now
