Imported from my Backloggery:
This game is hard to pin down, because it's so close to being something good. The enemies are scary, and TGW nailed the atmosphere, but something is missing. The issues come up when it comes to progressing in the game. In order to progress, you are going to die. A lot. The trial and error design makes sure of that. Dying that much makes it a lot less scary. Story was cool but light. Didn't do enough with the concept. Unforgettable, but ended up leaving fairly middled. TEW2 could be much better.
