Story:
Sometimes it was hard to pick up on. This may have just been me, but I first figured out what WAU actually was when I was running around in the laboratories where they tested it on rats.
It all made sense in the end though. A scary, scary sense.
The ending was perfect. The first ending with all the anger, frustration and in the end no hope was beautiful and it I could feel Simon's feelings.
Then I watched the credits, thinking it was over... and then I got the good ending.
It was brilliant of FG to include that just to lighten the mood a little bit.
Voice acting
So good.
Especially Catherine. When she talked you KNEW she cared about you and your condition. It felt like I was actually talking to a real person.
"And then we're going to talk to other people, because that's how conversations work".
That specific line was so good, and made her seem more human. Not the words she said, but how she said it.
Simon's voice-actor was very good too. I could follow his feelings, but sometimes I didn't share the same opinion.
Level editting
Immersive. Everything felt real. When I was running around in the abyss I definitely felt like I was very deep in the ocean. And the buildings felt like buildings should. There was a difference between being inside and being outside.
I don't have much comments about level editting. It was great.
There were some choices here and there where I thought it mattered what i did. It didn't seem to. For instance I was afraid I'd do something wrong if I unlocked Ross' room when I had the ARK, so I chose to ignore it and keep going, and thus missing something that I'm going to read up upon now.
Scares and monsters
Great build up in monster-difficulty.
Starting with a slow easy monster (that I ended up dying to anyway).
And ending with a horror of a monster in a diving suit. I died to that monster 3 or 4 times, because I couldn't figure out how to outsmart him. Standing still while not looking at him didn't seem to make him ignore me...
I eventually just legged it, and got past him.
The ocean monsters were my favourite! The big eel was amazing. And very terrifying.
Overall
An awesome game. Very interesting existential concept.
I loved the game. Definitely worth buying.
