After literal years of putting this game off after playing a demo version back in 2012 or 2013, I have finally completed it! I loved the atmosphere and sound design, the story was a tad confusing but perhaps thats just my smooth brain, might need two or three playthroughs I think. I really enjoyed this though! Will 100% be checking out the other games in the franchise!
It's pretty good. Hard mode is a nice challenge once you've played the game on normal. No issues running it on Linux.
Still holds up to this day. Truthfully a horror masterpiece, great storyline and great pacing of it's reveal. Scary parts are genuinely scary, puzzles are fun, not too hard, not too obvious. Custom stories are an incredible enhancment to the overall product. 10/10.
