What do you think of the game's length?

[epitaxial]

Personally i think the length was perfect but that a little more time could've been spent polishing the ending which was weaker than the rest of the game and made it end slightly flat, this might be what people were responding to when they thought it was the length, these same people probably didn't comment on the exact same time/money value proposition that was portal because the end felt suitably final.

Agree. The ending didn't fit well within the rest of the game - horror filled with lots of blood and monsters chasing me all over the place...

An ending that might have fit with the rest of the game:

The screaming lady I heard near the end tied up on a table. I enter the room and have to make a choice:

- Try to save her, but Alexander would sacrifice her and complete the ritual. I would be slashed by whatever was slashing me before and fall to the floor. Alexander would be laughing evilly and leave the room.
- Kill Alexander - this would be the same ending as preventing him from entering the portal [where I escape the castle]
- use Aggripa's head as some weird side effect on Alexander [the monsters who were chasing me would appear and drag Alexander off kicking and screaming into a dark room where the door would slam shut] - the ending would still be the same [darkness surrounded by floating lights]
