Nobody will read my review, so I'll just say I'm gay

Utterly atmospheric and terrifying (until you figure out the technique for just hiding in a corner until the chase music stops) first-person horror game that (while a little over-hyped) still has the power to unnerve you and make you shout a curse or two at the screen when a well-timed jump-scare makes you soil your pants.

The graphics may be a little old, but they still pack some moody punch, the music and sound design are superb (and are in fact the secret sauce that really ramps up the unease and anxiety), and while the physics are a little wonky in some of the puzzles, the gameplay is largely a great deal of fun (as long as you don't mind only playing for 40 or 50 minutes at a time because the tension is becoming just too much!).

Some of the writing and plot development are a little on the arcane (bordering on opaque) side of things, but overall this is a real gem.

Finally getting to experience this classic game that still holds up insanely well even today. The atmosphere is tense and the sanity meter makes the experience that more much thrilling.

I don't find the game scary, but I also like a lot of horror.
Its still fun to play through every now and then and the systems are self explanatory.
20$ is steep for me but I am cheap.

Easily the greatest Horror Game ever!!!!!

Still holds very well, a game really made with care. Very good puzzles. Story is ok. I didn't get how to avoid the monsters and they killed me like a million times whatever I tried, but ok, the gameplay wasn't as restrictive as in the Justine DLC so I was able to continue until the end The bridge puzzle didn't make any sense to me and the final part was maybe too convoluted and obscure, but it didn't detract from all the game being a worthwhile experience.

The DLC didn't made me care enough to complete it, but I can understand people that like the stealth mechanics enjoying the game forcing you to begin the game again when a monster appears from your behind and corner you or whatever. Not a big fan myself.

made lets plays common, made horror games funky

very immersive and scary, also a good story

Gives good head, thanks Agrippa.
