Trivia
Inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, including "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" and "The Shadow Out Of Time".

Goofs
The game is set in 1922, but features the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI was not under that name (at the time of the game it would still be called the Bureau of Investigation), and did not use the seal featured in the game until 1935.

Quotes
Jack Walters: [diary] I do not expect the reader to believe what I am about to relate. Any sane mind must reject such a fantastic tale. And yet I do not know which would be worse: for my story to be the truth, or for my mind to be capable of imagining such things.

Alternate versions
Likely to ensure a USK-16 rating in Germany, game content under the German language setting was modified a bit to remove all traces of blood. German players can experience the game uncensored by playing it in a language other than German.

A Great horror experience

I'm not a big horror fan but when i played this game i was committed to beating it and i did. the first part of the game builds up the tensions where you explore and chat with some locals or minor characters with no trouble but eventually you have to run for your life. at first you are running, hiding from the enemies since you are unarmed, plenty of creepy moments and jump scares to really get your blood going, eventually you find weapons that help you out. Lots of reading and puzzle solving to get you to the next areas and some running sequences that annoyed me at times but got through them. Plenty of disturbing images which help the flow of the horror game. This isn't just some straight shoot em up, at least not at first an a good challenging aspect is the lack of a HUD you must manage your ammo and health status. I can't give this game a 10 since there are some game breaking bugs that will force you to restart the game as i had to a couple of times where i got half way thru the game and i had to restart or the game file gets corrupted

Overall i would recommend this game for survival horror enthusiast
