It's the same map layout/assets from "From the Darkness," but while that game was a successfully scary and atmospheric horror puzzler, this game just feels repetitive and flat. The only enemy in the game is this shirtless fuck who chases you around cursing in Russian. He pokes you with a stick, then the game starts completely over.

Every item location is randomly generated, so there is no memorizing the puzzles. If you don't finish the game in one go, you'll have to start completely over next time, with everything randomly placed again. It makes the game monotonous, because the Russian guy can sometimes just randomly appear on the same floor as you without making any sound, so he can kill you without you even realizing he's there.

If the game were just an eerie walking simulator where the fear of a potential entity were the hook, I think the formula would work. But the bad enemy AI that can sometimes unfairly kill you and undo all your progress does not combine well with the randomized puzzles element.

The atmosphere is nice and spooky. The graphics aren't bad. Everything else kind of falls short.
