Critique (spoilers)

[Crabski]

I agree with a lot of what you said here; however, I'm pretty sure that the budget concerns really cut back on what they could do. There are some areas in which they found creative ways to get around the budget problems without hurting the game too much (the water horror, for instance; an original and terrifying encounter with a monster that didn't require any modeling, animation, etc.). Voice acting sadly isn't one of those areas. If you don't have the money to shop around a bit and find the right voices, you just have to settle for what you get.
