RE: How they ruined the game

I've seldomly been so disappointed of a game. It's mainly because the trailers promised a second A:TDD experience. Which made me pre-order this instantly. Twice - for a good friend as well. Realizing I have just spent 24 Euros on an unscary walkable audio book was just painful.

I do understand the whole idea of using this medium to tell a story in a more "touching" way than say a movie since the recipient is acually moving within it. But it doesn't work for me, these stories always are too shallow in my opinion - I'd much rather read a book instead.

I'm really curious if and what went wrong here.

Given all their blog posts about good game development - especially the most recent one about interactivity - was Frictional okay with how the game turned out?

If so, why did the Marketing suggest another A:TDD? Was it a deceitful exploitation of the established image to definitely sell this game?

Or was there a time when this in fact was a game with gameplay like A:TDD - but in the end technical difficulties or a shortage of time prevented them from realizing the game this way?

I don't expect an official answer though as this is touching rather intimate matters.

Now I'm just hoping for Custom Story support and some scary stuff from the talented people out there that made me enjoy A:TDD countless hours longer than the vanilla game took.
