Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)-Scenario-
Good double-character based. Mystery, darkness and stuff all over the place. The storyline is very interesting with that burn-'em-alive stuff.

-Graphics-
Excellent. Black Mirror style houses and cellars, no pixel hunting.

-Sound-
Good. Some dark ambient sounds but nothing very much scary. But it is adequate.

-Control-
Great. Click the mouse and interact with the object, or right-click and interact more. Press F1 to show all possible actions in the room. Action is removed from the screen when you are done examining that object (Black Mirror theory!). Esc for save/load stuff. After saving, it returns back to the game immediately (good!). My complain is that when loading the game, you have to scroll down the save list to load the last save.
92%-Atmosphere-
Good. Nothing very atmospheric or very horrifying or very mysterious, but a good job nevertheless.

-Action-
You are either controlling Tim, a thief escaping from some sewers and later breaking into a rich man's house, or a Police Sergeant which just happens to control the case into the place that Tim once was. No fouls, no leaks, clear action.
Start with sewers, continue with cemetary. More office, sewers, funerals and murders will come through.90%
-Riddles-
That's the bad. Almost all the riddles are inventory based (2 safe openings so far - fortunately there is no jigsaw puzzle in this game), but everything is VERY easy. Because the game will help you with the F1 feature, it becomes ever more easier. You will get through it very soon.
You can die in a specific point near the end, but the game will automatically restore the position for you.
-Ending-
Well, at least there is a promise for a sequel. I expected something more impressing. It suffers from the "inadequate ending pestilence", like all nowadays adventure games.
-Overall-
Worth your money, mainly targets the new players in the genre because it is very easy, but because of the well-planned action and the great graphics it will definitely draw the attention of a more experienced player.
