Poor so far. Cutscenes and environments + music are the only reason to keep going. In general it's a lot more on the nose about things than the works it's inspired by. The sublime and nuanced symbolism is missing as well as the direction.
The problem with all these old-school survival horror inspired games is that they mistake the style's intent. One tried to make a fun and cinematic game, the other is forcibly imitating the ways in which they tried to do it back then.
- Be respectful! All the community rules apply here.
- Keep your comments focused on the game. Don't post randomness/off-topic comments. Jokes are fine, but don't post tactless/inappropriate ones.
- Don't get in arguments with people here, or start long discussions. Use the boards for extended discussion.
- Don't use this space to complain about the average rating, chart position, genre voting, others' reviews or ratings, or errors on the page.
- Don't comment just to troll/provoke. Likewise, don't respond to trollish comments; just report them and ignore them.
- Any spoilers should be placed in spoiler tags as such: [spoiler](spoiler goes here)[/spoiler]

Had hoped this one would turn out differently...
