I keep dancing lol. Like the music is really really good. And these FMV-esque DOS graphics are great enter image description here

Well boo I'm disappointed. So begins my aversion to first-person games I suppose heh. I just can't get into this. Despite all the rave reviews and neat ideas. The combat is... not it. And the removal of the text option that was in Personal Nightmare is disappointing. I may return to this cuz the Sound is amazing (tho it seems it'll be that same tune the whole game heh), but moving on for now.
