This game lets you explore various creepy environments while trying to uncover exactly how your character fits into the mysterious story. While it's a relatively simple adventure game with some typical pixel hunting and NPC dialogue, numerous location changes, well-paced puzzles, and great atmosphere keep the game feeling fresh until the end.
The graphics have aged surprisingly well; although the 3D cutscenes feature pretty stiff animation and effects by today's standards, they were pretty impressive at the time this game was originally released. The game's numerous pre-rendered 3D backgrounds have plenty of grimy and gory details, and do a wonderful job of setting a dark and depressing atmosphere,
Sound is a mixed bag: Voice work can be atrocious at times, monotone and passable at others. Sound effects and music, on the other hand, are perfect.
This is a solid release. Hasn't crashed on me yet, and absolutely no tweaking or effort required to get it running on modern machines, including my aspire one netbook. Thanks GOG!
