What players say

Eh, decent enough game, but kinda shallow and pretty short too. Definitely not worth full price. Also has no replayability. Steam really needs to add a mixed or neutral option already.

A bland game. Although you can progress the characters, it is repetitive and the graphics could be crisper. I think "Call of Cthulhu: Wasted Land" was a much better game in this genre.
