I've just played this through, taking me 9 hours, and i am satisfied. It's a solid horror shooter, made by yet another russian game developer company. Now where should i start. I like this game and would like to recommend it to anyone, who likes to sit down and take their time to get a good experience.
It would be a generic shooter if it weren't for the remarkable gameplay and story.You have to think a bit to actually get the story, but it's beautifully merged together with some old russian tale. There is being use an intense amount of flashbacks to progress the story, especially with the main gameplay element called Mental echo, which allows you to travel into the last living minutes of a dead poersons mind, and perhaps even prevent him from dying.
the combat is acceptable, though the guns shoot with love, the melee is solid enough.
Where this game stands best, is with it's story and technical aspects. Not a mindblowing game experience, but it you like a simply good one too, Play it!

Recettear. Surprisingly good game, i must admit. The japanese style is somehting you have to get used to, to play this, but after that all you will think about how to achieve your next sale and earn more money. It's a very tactial game when you get under the skin, where you have to plan every move, to achieve the most income. 20 bucks is perhaps a bit expensive for the game though. It's fun, but it's still a small indie game, which won't catch on like a big mainstream title. None the less, i can fully recommend this to anyone who wants a different game experience and/or if you like japanese stuff.

8.5/10
