It suffers from the usual PS2-era shortcomings, such as frustrating puzzles and clunky combat, but there's no arguing that this an attractive psycho-thriller adventure. The narrative is creative and its world is vividly brought to life through excellent art and sound design.

It was quite controversial in its day but that reputation is entirely undeserved. Video games as a medium hadn't matured yet, as nothing you see here hadn't already been done in any other medium. This one deserves a remaster to earn the respect it deserves.
