Very cool game. Different than anything I've ever played before. It's basically a first-person exploration game with a bit of horror thrown in. You're shipwrecked on an island and have to explore to find clues as to why the island inhabitants disappeared.

The game takes place in colonial times so you use bows, flintlocks, and matchlock weapons. Weapons have realistic, multistage reloading procedures that can be interuppted and then resumed from the last step completed.

Headphones are an absolute must for this game. You find the various clues and treasure by pressing a button to "listen" which will provide directional "humming" sounds to lead you to it. There is a mechanic so that headphones aren't necessary in that a white box will appear on the left and right of your overhead compass that fade in and out to point you towards your objective. However, this takes a lot away from the atmosphere and spookiness of the game.

Once in-game, there are two settings I strongly encourage you use. Firstly, turn up color saturation to give color to the world. The black/white with red highlights scheme looks cool for a few minutes but the game ultimately looks much better in color. Besides, the "otherworld" is already in black/white. Secondly, check the box titled [Otherworld Gain]. I like the deep black of the default otherworld but it was just too difficult for me to navigate.
