This game is seriously spooky and creepy. You play a messed up dude who will go insane if he stays in the dark or looks at a monster too long. You get no weapons and your only option is to hide and sneak around. It's a major twist on the FPS genre and one that will mess with your head.

Try it. There's a demo out there.

Looks good. Too bad it's not on a console.

Here's a review:

Looks facinating. But also probably frustrating.

Frustrating? Perhaps, but it's also only $10 this weekend.

Seems like a combination of Call of Cthulhu (very few weapons, more about avoiding enemies than fighting) and Eternal Darkness (the sanity aspect). Not a bad thing at all though! Looks like it works on Steam for Mac too. I'm going to give the demo a shot and might pick it up since it's only $10.

This is on sale for $6.80 on Steam today, or $4.80 if you have any Penumbra game.

picked it up for 4.80 on steam. so far its okay. Its not as creepy as Penumbra series or Cryostasis.

Well shit, I was actually going to buy this, but it's back up to 10 bucks

Call of Cthulhu also had a sanity aspect, iirc.

I am really interested in getting this for my laptop. But do you need a controller for this or can you use the keyboard?

Raul3

You can use your keyboard.

Drexl

It controls just like a FPS, so it's fine with a keyboard and mouse.

RichC2

It doesn't have controller support, so you pretty much have to control it with kb+m.
