I understand the game’s purpose of no weapons and you must hide from the monsters, but sometimes I find it funny through Daniel’s observation that why couldn’t he at least use some of the tools that look assaulting enough to attack them, or at least throw it. The brute I only saw once in my first playthrough and I only looked at him for a second! Based on what I heard about him, he’s a tougher version of the grunt that is all. Because the only monster I didn’t find scary is the invisible water monster that creature had potential but ultimately you just don’t touch the water and you’re good to go. Thankfully once again the atmosphere and your sanity meter helps you build up fear to those three monsters in hair standing moments.
I will tell you now there are practically little enemies in this game but the biggest enemy you have to watch out for is your sanity, with no weapons to defend and you know what, it works perfectly! Yeah I wish there were at least two more enemies because I got a little tired of looking at big lip grunts all the time and once you hear that screech you know it’s avoid, hide, don’t hear the music building up, move on and repeat. I would just high tail out of there telling the constable the whole story and never set foot in that castle again! ENEMIES I’ve got to give him credit though for being that brave. Now one thing I find amusing about the plot is Daniel’s persistence to kill Alexander even if it means going through dank sewers, subjected to smelling rotten food and corpses, while running away from those grunts (which I called Big Lip “Monster moment” since they appear for a moment and disappear on the next), and all kinds of monsters out there. I sort of got bored midway through Daniel’s rambling till almost the end when I finally took notice of the lore and I took an interest in it, so it’s not the most boring if you can persevere through the plot. Though in the middle or even at the end you’ll start to at least understand what this whole story is about, once you collect enough notes of the diary and when you really want to get invested in the story than you can read it whole in Daniel’s dairy. You will get lost of what the heck is the main character talking about with his notes and additional dialogue that you either care or don’t, and just want to move on to your destination.
I will say this, that story isn’t the strongest suit especially from the beginning. I feel every time when I get into some unsettling creepy section of the room I say “I want to get out man, where’s the exit.” I don’t usually get really scared but man, some parts of the game just give me an intense feeling whenever something bad is about to happen, and spook me a few times just by hearing a random noise. The game shines by its uneasy atmosphere and the developers really did a great job doing that. I play it mostly to amuse myself, but after playing this game it really holds up good. So it has been six years since this game release and does it hold up? Well, to be honest with you, I don’t play a lot of horror games because it is not my cup of tea.
