some hits and misses but overall very fun! im more excited to play the next few collections because i prefer the hubworld type things (like with dread x 1 versus the rest) but i still think this is cool in itself

highs: dread delusion, fatum betula, erasure
mids: a place forbidden, in somnio, sauna2000, until biglight

Excellent initiative... and on top of that, it gave us Sauna 2000

doesn't make so much sense to rate it. I liked sauna 2000 a lot. big lights writing was a bit too on the nose (or should I say snout ?) to make it feel like anything but I liked the psychedelic sequence. the library one was pretty cool too

Omg a demo disc, how scary

An interesting look into an alternate world where the PS1 had incredible draw distance. A few of the games were very enjoyable; most of them were dull, but short; a few of them crashed or refused to start. Many of them are very inspired by Silent Hill. Some of them (most notably Dread Delusion) have full versions. Many of the games won't let you exit unless you Alt-F4 out of them, so be warned. A couple of them also use that awful fake-looking VHS filter.
Play: Fatum Betula, A Place Forbidden, Dread Delusion, Filthbreed.
Maybe play: In Somnio, Sauna2000
Skip everything else; the games not listed either crashed or were a snoozefest.

This game easily has some greats, some goods, and some duds. A couple of the games weren't even playable/completable, but a few were projects that I LOVED despite their length. So it averaged out to a complete experience that was pretty neat.
Lowlights: Killer Bees, Filthbreed (I'm sure that game is great but the controls didn't function for me), Effigy
Highlights: Sauna 2000, Until Biglight, Erasure
