I get it now, harrowing atmosphere and sound design that gets to your skin, excellent story, phenomenal soundtrack, the gameplay didn't feel dated at all (especially when using the 2D control scheme) and worked really well.
maybe there was an abundance of resources and ammo throughout the game which made enemy encounters no feel that dangerous anymore especially during the later stages of the campaign and also the fact that James can essentially insta-kill anyone if you make him kick enemies that are downed which trivializes a lot of encounters but nonetheless an fantastic experience, if you are into classic survival horror and psychological stories this game is an must-play.

I tried to get the In The Water ending, because in my opinion it's one of my favorites besides the obvious UFO ending & Rebirth. I streamed the whole game to my best friend, he totally loved it but I can't tell, he didn't cry at the last letter.
What a lovely game, it's beautiful, the ambiance is terrifying and I was a complete PUSSY playing but that just means I loved it.
My friend says: Very quickly stops being a horror game, becomes A THIRD PERSON SHOOTER ONCE GETTING A GUN (loved labyrinth, symbolism, killing Eddie, cemetery, good puzzles, nice game :3)
hes just being annoying, he loved it, i swear :3

Truly a classic that I definitely on an original PS2 using my legally acquired copy of the game.
Best game of all time, period.
