Have had this on the backburner for many years and finally got around to it. The game excels in its atmosphere, with every location feeling decrepit and grimy. That is just accentuated by the enemies and combat being brutal to the point the game has an almost snuff film vibe to it. The combat being mainly melee focus makes each encounter much more tense as you cant just run and try to kill an enemy from a distance, you gotta get up close and personal. The game does have guns but they are pretty spare, and when you get them you are only able to kill just a few enemies before you gotta switch back to melee. The story is serviceable, the characters are interesting and their oddities add to the overall weird psychological atmosphere. I personally really enjoy the direction it takes throughout the game, though there are parts of the story that are a bit confusing and underexplained, but I expect the second game will clear some of that up. I highly reccomend giving this game a shot for its unique mix of melee combat and atmosphere which creates some genuinely tense and scary moments
