Hey I just finished the game. I thought it was pretty solid (see next paragraph). When does Ep 2 come out? I haven't seen a post about it on here (unless I'm blind).

Pretty creepy in the parts where the game really submerses you. Changing chapters in combination with reading notes and the ambiance in the tunnels made for some clincher moments for me. The dogs really scared the living shit out of me the first couple times, but they ended up getting a little old towards the end (especially once you just kill them all from the top of a crate anyway). The "Tremor" worms were a good call, and I liked the chase sequence with the one near the end. The only other minor gameplay-type issue I had was how linear the story was. It was pretty bush league once you saw how the puzzles would play out - there needs to be more open-ended, non-linear areas. And there were a lot of objects I never even used; the flares being the main thing. Some part where you need to light flares to keep insects out or something would have been sweet. But that's about it I guess...

I reeeeally hope the next installment is longer. Wink
I just finished the game myself and it was incredible from beginning to end, just want to say great job and can't wait for ep.2!
Glad you liked it! Smile
Yeah the game was great, and the idea with the flare throwing was great really likes that!
This game was such a refreshment and a freaking fear factory for me. Complete physics and item manipulation is fantastic. Good job.
