The shock I experienced was not so much with the poor quality of the game itself, but with the positive reviews and defense that this game received. To this day I am trying to understand and cannot. It appears that players are digging the game's atmosphere, but what creates that atmosphere? It's not the music, because there is hardly any music in the game. It's not the spooky graphics, because the game mostly consists of gray corridors. Is it the girl from the Ring? Just to clarify, we all understand that the antagonist of the game is just a rip-off from the-little-girl-with-wet-hair-over-her-face trope from Japan that was popular in the 90s, right? Anyway, that girl appears rarely and the shock she brings is from suddenly appearing behind you and disappearing. Mostly cheap scare tactics. The few cool action effects this game has just aren't enough to carry the whole thing. I...I don't get it.
