An unbelievably promising game with one of my favorite settings I've ever seen.

Ripped straight from the pages of the SCP Wiki, "The Oldest House" in which the game takes place carried the hell out of my entire playthrough. Excellent mysteries and characters held my attention and had me excited for each new development.

That being said, there came a point where this changed from an immersive sci-fi masterpiece and became too much of a video game. Without warning, you will become flooded with forgettable side quests, exhausting radiant quests, and challenge missions. You'll realize you can decimate the combat system by exclusively throwing random junk at enemies. On and on.

This was a huge bummer and I wish I could forget the second half of this game ever happened.
