Oh, and random screens I took. Really is an impressive little engine.

that lighting makes me want to puke. almost looks as bad as Fable.

You could definitely do worse as far as horror videogames go.

Thread unburied.

Played through this over the past week or so on "normal" and it was way better than I expected it to be. Sure, it's on rails, but I've never really thought of that as a bad thing (kind of like books are on rails, too) and I liked the dialogue/story and art. I had a lot of fun with this one.

Were you high? This game was AWFUL from start to finish. And I know shitty games.

It's not that bad. I wouldn't go out of my way to play it, but I've played a lot worse.

Compared the Hellboy, this was GOTY.

I mentioned liking the demo before but when I did play the full game I couldn't get into it. I was very pleased at how smoothly it ran on my PC but the early levels were pretty dull so I stopped playing.
