This game would almost fit under the interactive movie genre.The gameplay is basically cutscene, look around an area for clues, choose one to three clues that are most relevant from the many found, cutscene, exit the location by defeating/sneaking past demons, walk to the next location.
The Good: The plot. I never felt the need to skip a cutscene and was into the story from the word go, even though I've never been into supernatural themes. As I say often these days, the voice acting is top notch. It has to be one of the major improvements in gaming over the last 10 to 15 years or so. The music is good without being superb as well, and the game is easy to play.
The Bad: The combat with the demons is frustrating. It just doesn't seem to work as well as it should. It can be hard to tell at times from afar what way they are facing-which is imperative as they can only be attacked from behind-and you can miss out by a split second on killing them when it should seem to work. Whilst looking for clues, the area you need, can be too specific at times as well to inspect the clue. This isn't common but happens enough to be an annoyance. It's also a fairly short game that you may not play twice in a hurry unless you want to go back and gather all the collectables around the world for 100%. Not flawless by any means, but it's a solid mysterious gothic adventure game.
