After 1 hour of gameplay I'm throwing this one in the bin (metaphorically):
- No inventory, YOU CAN ONLY TOUCH/CARRY SOMETHING IN THE ENVIRONMENT IF IT'S PLOT-RELEVANT
- Completely on-rails linear
- No real puzzles, no need to wander around at all
- COMPLETELY NOT SCARY AT ALL, the monsters in this are laughable
- No sanity meter! (removed from Dark Descent)
- You don't even have to refill your lantern, it's electric with unlimited power....

Holy moley this game is utter crud

That's kinda what i got from the reviews but for some reason they mentioned all your points, still gaven a 7.5 and said it was good. A bit strange.... It's like they didn't dare to give it a low score. It's basicly dear esther with amnesia engine.

I feel so cheated GOG, how could you do this to me, I thought GOG release was the assuring of a good game

Also funny how even if the game was scary, it purposely spoils any "boo!" moments by making the latern flicker whenever an enemy is nearby, lol

Yes

GOG is the masters of subjective values.

Maybe not subjective values, but quality control perhaps

That's a shame.

Looks like we'll be avoiding thechineseroom in future, huh.

From what I hear it's much, much shorter than TDD as well...

Considering that the game was developed by the Dear Esther devs, yeah.
Honestly if it is that, it sounds like I would like it more than Amnesia, which I can appreciate, but honestly I cannot play because it is FAR TOO INTENSE for me. Yeah.

To be honest Sensible Soccer and some other interplay titles that some could rightfully consider sub-par were on here since the site started.

Hey I am the guy who thinks REmake was the best scary game ever and I have not been horrifyed by anything else since until One Late Night, trust me the game is also free. I beat One Late Night 3 times and it still scares me.

I like that. The boo moments themselves is crappy if you aren't afraid before and after but only in that moment.

That's why I liked the spark-effect in FEAR, it always added to the atmosphere.

EDIT: I wrote the opposite of what I meant. :P
