For everyone saying we rated the game low due to the fact that we either 1: finished the game to quick or 2: Didn't appreciate the story, well...

The story was very shallow, and you could tell what was going on from the beginning. It was obvious the children were dead. Even when the game made it BLATANTLY OBVIOUS, we still have Mandus dragging on the fact that he needs to save them. The impact of finding his dead children was non-existent. There was no despair, or any sort of sadness for me at least, when we found out their fate 100%.

Further more, Ah checked every room, and every nook and cranny, and found every note. Ah read each and every one, and the lack of voice acting in them is VERY lazy. The ENTIRE story (besides Mandus talking to himself) was told exclusively in the notes. The least they could have done was allow us the privilege of hearing the world behind the note.

Ah could not get immersed into this game at all. The lack of scares, the lackluster monsters, the removed hiding mechanics, the removed puzzle mechanics (no inventory means no complex puzzles (seriously, had no problems with solving any of these puzzles)), and the overall just dumbed down, and overly short experience has just left me incredibly disappointed. TDD has been one of my top favorite horror games that Ah've ever had the pleasure to play, and Ah've been waiting and waiting for AMFP to come out, because ah though it would be a huge immersive game, that would improve upon everything that made TDD good. What Ah got, however, was a huge disappointment that removed everything that made TDD amazing as it was.

Frictional, please don't work with The Chinese Room again. AMFP proves that all they can do is make pretentious walking simulators with no enjoyable, or redeeming aspects what so ever.

Once again, it's not because "I rushed through" or "I didn't appreciate the story". The story was just, very, very bad, and the game, just way too short. WAY too short, especially for the price tag of $20.

And like Ah said.

Ah'd like my money back.
