I’ve been playing it late at night with headphones on when ever I get a chance
and I’m finding it to be more like a “survival horror” experience.
It has a lot to do with the atmosphere and music.
And knowing that if you get caught, it pretty much means certain death.
It gets very tense and I can only stand playing for an hour or two at a time.

I’m really enjoying it.

The game sounds pretty fun. I haven’t played a really-good stealth game in a while, so I might have to pick this one up and see how it is. :)

Sounds like an ok game, are there boobies?

Sounds like a really interesting game. I haven’t played a good stealth action game for some time but used to enjoy the genre a good deal. Sounds like they’ve done some cool things, too – I like the idea of the German/French voices with subtitles. Too many times have we heard bad “German” accents by American actors!

The morphine bits sound a bit Max Payne-y – both from the slow-mo perspective and also for the tripped-out weird angle (remember those messed-up levels where you follow the trail of blood?)

I’ll certainly be interested in checking the game out when I get a mo.

Sounds pretty good. Not a blockbuster by any means, but something that’s right up my street – I love stealth titles. It’s my favourite genre, and I much prefer puzzling stealth to stealth action. May see if I can pick this up on the cheap, just to keep me going until Splinter Cell: Conviction and Thief IV (NOT THI4F)

“atmosphere” is not enough to get me to buy a game I wasn’t hyped for in the first place.

Unfortunate.

Good write-up.
