usually im skeptical about games everybody sucks the dick of, but holy shit this game is amazing. everything from the historical society onward is sublime. i don't think i've ever felt more unsettled and uncomfortable watching a game play out and i felt like i was nearly in a trance by the end. jumping down all the holes, getting pyramid head's sword, navigating the labyrinth, that fucking terrifying prison level, it was surprising how investing it all was. after i killed eddie and was walking around around the hotel with the rifle and dead silence around me, it cemented how good this game was to me.
