It's got a wonderful, oppressive atmosphere and the combat is tense and works well for the most part. I was really let down by the plot - you find yourself bracing for a major plot twist, but I suppose the only twist is that there really isn't one, just vague intimations of something bigger going on. The storytelling is pretty clumsy too - you're basically accused of murder offscreen and have to clear yourself;…

A game that has sadly not aged as graciously as I would've hoped. Though it has some interesting ideas and a few effective scares, with the mall level being a highlight, it quickly devolves into generic hallways with repetitive enemies and combat encounters. It's not terrible by any means, and the story is quite decent to follow along to, but by the end I just found myself wishing it would be over.
