The atmosphere of this game is achieved beautifully. The graphics, sound, and unique controls definitely bring something new to the table. It was a little odd when I first started playing it, but I have to admit it was a nice break from the rest of the games I had been playing up to that point. The darkness of the game was enough to bring about suspense and intrigue, but not enough to scare the living hell out of you; it was definitely no Silent Hill. Mostly, I enjoyed the storyline and how/when you (the player) interacted. Very cinematic, but not alienating as a result. I loved it, but I am not sure I can recommend it strongly to the average Joe. If you are into more cerebral (and dark) games, this is at least worth a rental. Perhaps buy it used? It is interesting at the very least.
