Funny, this looks much prettier (well, “pretty” isn’t quite the right word, obviously, considering the setting) in person than in the videos I downloaded. Also, I made it through five minutes and I’m never launching this demo again.

Not only are the graphics pretty good, but the controls contribute to immersion (lack of HUD, disconcertingly fast — but not twitchy — and fish-eyed camera), and I’m never walking through the street right down the corner from my building where a bunch of homeless guys have set up residence under an archway.

I do wonder how anyone can find the nerve to play the whole game, and I’m not even usually that scared of horror movies.
