Let me preface, for a mod this game is able to stand on its own! You know you have something good when the developer of your game includes your mod as a standalone mode in an expansion pack, AND has a reference to it in a DLC for the main game.
This game in my opinion is a prime example of pure survival horror, especially in the opening half. I genuinely felt uncomfortable during the opening Asylum segment. So well done!
I will have to say, a lot of the writing and story of this one is very basic. Which makes sense. They wanted to go as 2000s edgelord as possible, and they hit that mark (even if some of the main characters lines are over the top).
I only have 2 complaints about this mod. Which realistically I don't count against my rating for this seeing as this is a 3rd party mod. It's gonna have faults.
1) The quality of the VA is varied. John and the main characters sound great. The random NPCs you find vary on pretty good quality, to the Rednecks in the subway station. Probably the worst VA I have ever heard.
2) Some of the maps are excellent (the mall and the Asylum) and are full of detail and effort. Other maps are WAY too large and open when they don't need to be. Additionally, some of the sections are not needed and could have been either cut entirely (city center and the carnival) or have been a cutscene.
Again, these complaints I don't count against the overall quality of a MOD made by independent people. This is still very much worth a playthrough, even for the over the top insanity.
