I got so fed up with this game I stopped towards the end of the first chapter, so take my review with a grain of salt.

This game has REALLY bad controls. It seems like in each room the directional keys shift so they do something different. You'll also have to spam click on an item to pick it up. When you do manage to pick something up you'll probably be greeted with the game telling you you can't pick it up because your extremely small inventory is full.

There's just not enough room in the inventory. I understand inventory management and all that is sort of a staple in this franchise, but come on. There's not enough room to carry your weapon, ammo, and the key items, which means you have to drop them and backtrack a whole bunch. Along with those three item types you have to carry around, you also have to have ink slips; unless you're fine with not saving your game. If you run out of them you cannot save your game until you find more.

The combat is not engaging in the slightest and there is zero tension or horror to be found at all. The reason for this is the camera. I don't know if this was implemented due to technological limitations that existed when the OG version of this game came out, but it kills the game for me and really ruins any immersion. I can't really put it into words how the camera system works, so just watch some gameplay on youtube to see just how bad it is.

Just avoid this game.
