If I hadn't been recommended this series by some friends, I'm not sure I would've stuck through this. What initially seems like a clunky PS1 with cheesy dialogue and FMVs turns into an engaging survival horror with an amazing atmosphere. The tank controls take a bit to get used to, as does the inventory management, but once you get into the swing of things, it's a good time with some genuine scares. The game scares you with both the environment itself, but also the intended limited amount of supplies you can scavenge around the mansion. You have to think on your feet about what the next best course of action is, or figure out how to proceed by looking around the environment. I'm pleasantly surprised by what initially came off as a classic, but dated PS1 game. Would recommend.
