What players say
Thank God for the Steam version. This is a fantastic bit of Lovecraftian horror sadly muddled with unnecessary erotic scenes...in the original version. While some may argue the H-scenes add to the horror, I'm not one of those people. I did worry that certain things would be lost with the cut content, but after reading this without the 18+ patch, I can thankfully say it doesn't imho. There's enough implications in...
First type of game I ever played of this kind, Pretty good, 2 people recommened me this. Would recommend!
Short and linear and too predictable. The gore / Lovecraftian elements may be a selling point back in 2003 but honestly feels tame in this day and age.
Steam reviews, mixed to match its Steam ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
