I think from all the Kelven games that I've ever played, this is probably one of the best ones. Now, I have to mention that for my replay, I played the remastered version, but I think most of the remaster was true to the original version. (I can't remember 100%, the original was a long time ago)

You play Sandra, a teenage girl that got in an argument with her parents and gets stranded in the small town of Dusty Creek. (Kind of a desert version of Silent Hill) The people living in this town are all unfriendly and there seems to be a dark secret behind the town. The only one that kind of helps you is an old Native American.

For the most part, the visual presentation is good, but there are some graphics that are kinda off. In the remaster, the dog looked like a kangaroo and there are weird red pixels in Alan's glasses.
The sound design was also mostly great. The Silent Hill music fits the game, but the remastered version's replacement OST is also great. There are however some sound effects that are too soft for what they should be.

All in all a good game though.
