What a game. Normally I skip out on horror games and movies, but when you hear something is so good, its so intriguing that I just had to get this one and try.
And boy did it not let me down. This feels like modern gaming to the max. The foliage, sound design and voice acting are out of this world and especially the foliage is insane. There are bushes everywhere, and you see every halm of grass and every tree looks different and all the buildings are filled with life and look so realistic.
The gameplay is a bit clonky but I like that you can switch between the two characters, if things get a little stale for your taste. And the mind place is a really cool innovative feature which makes you keep up with every detail of the story.

SPOILER: As far as the story goes, there was one cycle of "Alan needs to change the scenes" too much for me. The game is a bit too long for my taste and the enemies are not that creative. I'd appreciate it more if there were less enemies, but maybe introduced a bit more. I remember finding manuscripts and emails about a monster that lingers around the workshop and I got really tense about and facing it, but it was just a plain old taken brute.
The story itself is brillantly confusing and you have to really keep up with the details if you want to understand. Especially the conclusion I liked and the easter eggs for the other games are great. And you have so much memorable moments, the musicals, the death screen, the ending, the music at the end of a chapter or initiation, the mind place, the old gods of asgard and so on and so on.
