Let me sum it up for you! I couldn't keep on playing this game...ran out of diapers!
After about 4 hours of play-time, I gave up on this game! I did so because I just couldn't take the tension anymore, seriously. I say this as a compliment to the greatness of this game. I have always enjoyed survival ... Read Full Review

Nearly shat my pants!
First, I want to start this by saying I didn't play Penumbra. So I can't compare both. That being said, I must say I played a lot of "survival horror" or horror action adventure and got used to the chills and scares (exc... Read Full Review

Take a lesson, "big studio game companies." Because this game is the way it should be done.
