Author:Chris Mudd
Genre:Horror
Released:2000
Review:

Short and highly linear game in which you're a serial killer (and your killings are described in graphic detail, so skip this if that's not your cup of tea). Creepy in places, but suffers from the straitjacketedness of it all--there's very little you can do for most of the game, and in the killing scenes you don't get any control at all, natch--as well as from a dreadfully clunky conversation system in which the NPCs give you elaborate prompts for you to ask them about certain topics. (As in, "don't you want to ask me about...") Not a total failure, but far from a success.

Rating: **
