Sounds pretty interesting - would perhaps do well as a DS or Wii title?

Another gloomy PC game.

Why can't 'they' make brighter PC games? Maybe set outdoors, IN THE AFTERNOON SUNSHINE

Far Cry was rather bright. At least for the first few levels..

Anyhow, I was really hoping this one would be good. Now I'm not so sure. If it's not fun, why bother playing it at all?

Man the demo was good. 9/10 easily for me. I will certainly be picking it up, I hope the rest of the game is as good tho.

Its a shame it came to this... the tech demo I played a while back was rather good I thought. Sounds like its lost a lot in the making.

Sounds interesting enough for me - for the low-budget price for which it's sold, I'll definitely risk it. The demos were both very, very good.

It's heavily physics based, so neither would have the grunt to do it justice.

\looks at the impressive level of physics and interaction in Elebits.

I dunno, the Wii looks like it may have the potential to handle physics quite well?

I think this deserves an 8/10.
Just finished it there and had a great time.


Easily worth a tenner!!

I began it and it's a really nice game. Good mix between first person survival and point'n click.

The Lovecraft atmosphear is wonderful. The music frigthened me a lot of times. It was since a long time I waited a so scared game. More efficient than a good horror movie. Intelligent, beautiful, frightening game. If you want something different, try penumbra.

Hard to say that the game is not fun. When I play to a survival horror, I don't want fun, I just want to be frightened a lot. And for that Penumbra is great ;)
