+ Logical puzzles. Quite easy to get if you pay attention to what you're reading, but satisfying to solve. I used a walkthrough only twice, first when I didn't understand how to use an item (lol) and second when I wanted to get out of cobweb-filled area as quickly as possible (arachnophobia :/).
+ Creepy enough for me.
+ Non-linear.
+ Installed and ran with no problems whatsoever (XP SP3). Didn't require the CD to play :D
- Too short.
- Clunky controls.
- Graphics were good for scenery, but people... I really could do without watching random shots of them. All characters who speak to you could do so without showing their faces. It'd be better that way IMO.
- The "Antagonist" was lulz-worthy. It looked ridiculous both in real encounters and on pictures. I couldn't take it seriously... The background music was more scary!
