Spoiler Diary of the First Playtrhough

Just updated my pre-load and launched the game...

First of all, with my comp specs and every graphic option on max it runs as smooth as I could imagine. No glitches, no freezings, nothing at all to notice, runs really nice and smooth.

First, I noticed somewhat like bluish fog filling all interiors. It made me feel quite a bit like I am dreaming, not really walking around the mansion. I have tweaked gamma in order to make picture a bit more contrasting and it did work, but I may confess the presence of that fog didn't vanished. I may presume it's somewhat intended, an artistic decision, but be honest I do not like it right now. At least now, I just finished the very first location.

Second, the electric lamps seems to give extremely low amount of light. It's not that I am fan of realism, basically I do not care about f**king realism. But in fact the amount of light of electric lamps is way too low. That is also something I do not like in particular. Lamps do look just like a bright stains, not the sources of light. Here are a bit of ingame screenshots...

Third, it's really kind of annoying that nearly all objects aren't dynamic. Well, I do not know if that could be annoying without playing Penumbra and 1st Amnesia, but at the right moment it feels as if I am limited in something for no particular reason. But I can't really complain on that at the moment, cause probably at the later locations the situation might be drastically changed with amount of dynamical objects.

But! I must say to make my position clear, that in general, all these complaints are just shitty, real shitty who-cares complaints and I do understand that for sure. Because while I finished only first location I am already began to sink into the story and gameworld.

Finally, I got my first pack of bricks in the pants. When I got down the stairs and there was somewhat like earthquake and a painting fell down, I was f**king scared to shit. It was absolutely unexpected.
