Excellent atmosphere and a great story make this horror game a must-play, despite the frustrating combat and movement issues.

One notable feature is how your character will turn her head toward interesting things, even if you cannot see them. I found at least a couple of hidden items thanks to that.

Movement is OK, but has a couple of issues. It is frustrating because you can collide with objects in the world and get stuck on them, requiring you to stop and then walk around the obstruction. Climbing up and down ladders is also annoying, since it is a single, painfully long animation, and it is possible to accidentally walk right back onto the ladder after dismounting.

Also on the subject of movement, if you are not a fan of fixed camera angles, this game will haunt you.

Combat is fairly clunky and irritating. I have had quite a few scream-at-the-tv moments thanks to it.
