Thoughts? Since we're a game artist forum: I think the art direction is pretty good, though I think the individual assets are lacking when taken by themselves. Kind of buggy / messy at times.

SOMEWHAT SPOILER: Personally I find it kind of unsettling. I'm not sure if it's like this with all the characters, I've only played 2 of them, but each one with their own story, and then getting raped - it's kind of creepy. It's one of the few times where I've felt bad for a game character because it was MY fault they got raped.

    Got this yesterday (twice!).

    I like it, although it labels itself a horror game... it's something much darker and more insiduous than being straight up scary. And yeah, getting raped, that was seriously unsettling. It's not very often games can do that to you.

    I read about this recently, sounds like an interesting concept or prototype but according to the article I read there just isnt much substance to the actual gameplay. The review I saw said the game makes you think you have free choice to stay on the path or go off it but actually if you ever leave the boring path you are doomed so its just an illusion and ultimately not fun.
