Very ahead of its time in a lot of respects, and is overall a great representation of Lovecraft's mythos, but is a little too scatterbrained to achieve excellence. It wants to be a stealth game but the stealth mechanics are painfully shallow. It wants to be a shooter but, while it has satisfying gunplay, you're constantly getting your weapons taken away from you for the sake of the plot. It wants to be an adventure/puzzle game but the puzzles are either so easy they can't even really be considered such, or they're completely esoteric (pun slightly intended), rarely ever in between. Add a dash of bugs and the occasional questionably designed setpiece and you're left with a game with its heart in the right place, but was maybe a little too big for its britches.
