March 2026

Very interesting genre combining fps, horror, fmv and adventure. The game is playbable but the controls are terrible especially when enemies spawns infinitely. Healing is total nightmare does not work 80% of the time. The Vials green or red are healing potions. The healing scheme is trash. The rest is not great but acceptable. I for inventory, place your weapons in the inventory one after the other don't place ammo next to a weapon nothing shows up on key 2 for example. Open a door open inventory pick the key. The game is not very self-explanatory. Also FMV has no sound or mine went out when i pressed escaped the first time. Press H to see control scheme. You can hold right mous button and hold left mouse button to move up and down the screen view however a lot of times the key starts shooting your weapon. That is why this game is half-decent good game but trash trash controls but not unplayanle like those star wars games FMV. Needs a remaster or upgrade. Get it on sale for 2 bucks not more.

The game is a point and click adventure in the guise of a shooter. There are some complaints about a couple of the puzzles being cryptic but I think they're so in an acceptable level. The first person shooting of the game is substandard so don't play this for that reason. However the game has literally otherworldly vibes to it with a lot of interesting locations and the acted fmv scenes are well performed. My favorite moments were the puzzle about lighting a bong and the cutscene of meeting Belial for the first time.

The Pros: It's a classic! It has a rich story with lots of lore. Great puzzles with a FPS format. I remember playing this when it was relatively new. Having no walkthroughs or tips on how to play it took a fair amount of time to get through. The Cons: The control mapping is...something to be desired, BUT! the mapping has been changed for steam, so it is better than the original believe it or not! Cut scenes are cool, but the people are all bad actors. They probably got them discount at a porn convention. You have to pay attention in cut-scenes to know where you need to go at times. Some puzzles aren't that instinctual, or are a bit clunky. I do recommend this game though. It is very unique! I wish they would remake it, or adapt it into a movie of sorts. Just clean up the cheesy parts and we're good!

I think this has aged well. I played it briefly on a friend's PC waaay back in 1997 or so. While the controls are dated and clunky by today's standards, they're still much better than comparable games from the era. This mixes peak FMV horror with FPS and a general '90s adventure game format. It's a neat mix that works remarkably well and should have been done more often. The FMV segments are top tier for the time, as are the performances from its actors. My only real complaint is a minor one, but sometimes the areas are just too dark. But, all in all, this is a steal for $2.99, especially if you want to experience a few of the coolest gaming trends of the mid-to-late '90s.

May 2025

Extremely good mix of point and click adventure and FPS. With its dark, almost horror atmosphere, and its focus on exploration, it almost feels like a first person Survival Horror game! The FMV cinematics are a blast from its era and a real treat for progressing through the game. It may need some tweaking and getting accustomed to its archaic controls, but once you get used to them, it really is an extremely enjoyable 90s experience.
