All Alone

Author:Ian Finley
Genre:Horror
Released:2000
Review:

Stalker horror--the author calls it "play-in-the-dark-ware." Very short, but effectively creepy--most of the thrill is not knowing what exactly is going on. That effect continues when the game's over, in fact, since it's far from clear what happens at the end, and the game ends pretty abruptly. If you like stalker horror, though, this is a good example of how IF can do that genre well.

Rating: ****
