  1. I beat this. It was about 5-7 hours, depending on how long you take to read emails, story, solve puzzles, and how much time you spend dying. It's good, but it's very "janky," with a lot of minor bugs that can sometimes lead to frustration as well as some places that oddly lack polish, especially in the animations. The best part of the game is the atmosphere. It is generally really really good, but the voice acting can probably be pretty detrimental for some people. I'd say it's perfectly fine about 80% of the time, but sometimes lines are delivered in ways that are distracting. For example, at one point, you briefly witness some ungodly horror, the likes of which have never been seen before by any living, normal person. In response, your character yells "what was that?!" in a confused, but mostly unconcerned tone. I started laughing when it happened, but if no dialogue were there, it would have been a genuinely very creepy moment. While the atmosphere is usually good, the horror can be a mixed bag. Some of it is really good. Some of it just isn't scary. And, unfortunately, a bit too much of it is jump-scare oriented. These scares don't really stick with you after the fact, they're just surprising, so you gasp and jump. The story is somewhere between complex & good and nonsensical. There are a lot of things that are well set up, and the story has pretty good pacing, with things always ramping up, to the point of it sometimes really surprising me. However, there are a lot of minor plot holes, inconsistencies, and lackluster moments. The worst example of this occurred for me when the identity of a mysterious character is revealed. It's intended to be shocking and come as a revelation, but I immediately knew who this character was at the very first hint of it hours beforehand. It was such a non-surprising reveal, I was really confused as to why the game was acting like it was so shocking and dramatic that I thought there must've been more to it, like it being a lie or something. Like I said, it's overall a good game, and I'd recommend buying it, even at its base price since it's relatively inexpensive and I think it's good to support creative works like this. There's a lot of nice moments to be had, and I think that no matter how many issues someone may have with the game, you can't really dislike it. It's not ripping you off or lying to you and it really just wants to provide a good experience.
  2. A wonderful game. Different characters lead to different playstyles for different moods. For example, if you want the world to be a chaotic vision of Hell, play the zombie. If you're feeling lucky (or unlucky), play the comedian. If you're feeling like a gorilla, play the gorilla.
  3. This is definitely a game that you can get all of the enjoyment in it by just watching a playthrough. The gameplay, puzzles, (anything the player has to do), etc. aren't actually very satisfying. The best parts of the game are the dialogue and a few of the weird things you encounter at the end of the game. There's not much difference between clicking a dialogue option and listening to the response and just watching someone else click that same dialogue option and listening to the response.
  4. The game is very okay. It's very, very rough around the edges, and the team that developed this definitely took on way more than they can handle. It has a lot of questionable design choices (why is the game procedurally generated when all of the interesting areas are basically the same in all playthroughs?), but the core game, especially when you get into the towns, is pretty fun. It's pretty fun to get in trouble in a town, frantically run into alleyways and side paths looking for some place to hide, only to find yourself locked in a bathroom with the cops busting down the door next to the body of the homeowner you had to beat to death with a cricket bat so that you could get up the stairs. The story is kind of interesting , but the serious elements are sometimes in direct conflict with some of the wackier tones the game goes for. For example, a lot of the characters are way too stupid to be believable... even if they are crazy or under the influence of crazy drugs. I'd recommend it deeply discounted, though you should only play it in a way that seems fun to you. For example, trying to beat the game without killing anyone at all can be a nightmare, especially with some of the bugs that pop up.
  5. I have some really neat screenshots to share!! What you make of them . . . is up to you. Screenshot #1 is from Grand Theft Auto V! Screenshot #2 is from Far Cry 3! Screenshot #3 is from WWE 2K15!
