Know that I love to watch people play point and clicks because I love the graphics and like the feel of the game being like a movie.  I buy point and clicks so that both my wife and I can enjoy them.  We also like a game that has a good mystery and a jump factor like any good thriller should.  In scratches we were very pleased with the graphics, music, & overall mood of the game.  There are two major drawbacks though.  The first was that even though we had a screaming PC to run the game on, we still had several crashes that taught the meaning of Save-Try-n-Die.  The second problem was the clues and content that would allow the game to move forward.  Had we not found a walkthrough to assist with the overwhelming puzzles & clues, this game would've been a complete bust.  On the positive side of things, we loved the dark content and turned off the lights for this game.  A storm was brewing outside one night and we found ourselves jumping with several scenes - great creep out factor and a wonderful scare factor.  Horror enthusiasts - need not apply; this game is for sure dark, but not a game that will make you jump.  Just turn up your speakers and get ready for the creepy audio.  A nice feature that was also displayed was the ability to mandate whether the player wishes to use the director's cut version or the standard version - very nice and thank you to whoever setup the game in such a way!

Here's how I conducted my start rating:
1) Scripting & dialog was mediocre; however the ambient & background sound track is excellent
2) Graphics performed well; see next item though
3) Overall performance was less than good; several crashes.  Be sure to keep saving after each accomplishment, this was a topic that lost a star for my review
4) Storyline was good and will keep you guessing.
5) Clues, hints, and adaptability basically will require a walkthrough this aspect also lost a star in my review

Know that this game is way worth the $20 and the game play options listed in the beginning are heaven sent; did I happen to mention how cool that option is and that other game companies should model after that?...anyway...good creepy game, the crew just needs to work on stability and playability.
