A haunting, stylish homage to PS1 horror that earns a top spot among the greats from that era. Won't convert people who dislike the genre, as the resource juggling between safe rooms, and the resulting back tracking, may be too grating for many. And I get that! But that tense ammo-and-key management is part of the thrill to me.

Admittedly, the game maybe overindulges in the third act. A fabulously creepy final area with no map might not be the best place to throw half a dozen simultaneous puzzle pieces at you, and even genre fans like me found it to be a bit tiresome as the finish line approached.

But still; a tremendous, creepy adventure with a truly remarkable sense of style.
