Poll For people who have finished it, how do you feel about it? (7 votes)
I ended up really liking this, but it seems like people are generally positive but fairly cool on it.
The start is pretty slow, but once you arrive at the fort I found it got pretty intense from then on.
All of the visits to The Dark World were very cool to me, especially since on paper I feel like it's an idea that's really easy to fuck up. Coming across text written by the Lovecraftian superbeings was pretty wild, as were the memory capsules from the original. Alexander's methods of vitae creation turned industrial is disturbing in a way that feels like a combination of the best story elements from SOMA and The Dark Descent. Getting an up-close look at this in The Hunting Ground was one of the scariest sequences, along with the moments after your water breaks.
The flashbacks to Tasi's time with Alys might be the saddest stuff I've seen in a game - and all of it takes place during loading screens, often without dialogue, just the sound of crying or the baby struggling through her illness.
