This game is super cool. The atmosphere is horrifying and all the different buildings you explore are equally confusing and creepy.

The came is really quiet except for when you are near enemies and its really unnerving. Some of the puzzles in this game especially in the latter half in this game are super confusing and take a lot of brain power. The low poly enemies are horrifying and the game overall is super well put together.

Wow. The bad ending of this game is really anticlimactic. Good thing I have some earlier saves I can go back to. But that will be for another day.

Of all the horrors Harry has faced in this game, definitely the strongest is "Person with Gun."

An emergency hammer a day keeps the doctors away. Seriously. This weapon rules.

Oh man. A giant lizard monster in the basement. Just like my elementary school.

I had planned to skip this and jump straight into SH2, and i'm glad i didnt. I just thought 'ok ten mins lets just see what its like, and i was immediately impressed enough to keep going, and "hey, this is fun!"
about 12 hours later, i realized this will take a little time, but its enjoyable

I began playing this last night! So creepy. A bit confusing, but the map mechanic is getting clearer that it leads much of the game (at least so far). When the lights went out after going through the Doghouse house oooo, things are getting real! Love the camera angles so far. I'll be streaming it tomorrow, I'll post on here …
