[SPOILER] Diary of the First Playtrhough

[Alex Ros]

Got through the alley and cemetery part, 4th location I believe. Was scared to "pause" at some point, fucking crazy, man. To link a scare to the object manipulation is just crazy. My brains and heart were blown away for a second: "Fuck! Should I run? Should I turn my head and look what's made all that fucking noise?!? Or should I stay still and just continue turning that fucking valve? What the fuck should I do?!?!?" These are crazy questions that flooded me for a second if not less. Crazy moment, got to change my pants.

By the way that truck, blocking my way to the church, was really nice puzzle-non-puzzle. I am falling in love in those puzzles which aren't self-contained puzzles, but just parts of the world, just my interactions with the world objects. Solid experience non divided on puzzle solving, monsters running or roaming around. Everything is chained together into one solid walkthrough and experience. And if that's supposed to make a player to feel it that way, then the task is handled well.

Here's a bit of screenshots with blue-green style that I do like after completing mansion part. If I would ever decide to paint the face of a stone-cold corpse I would surely use same palette.

Anyway, all light sources still, I mean while playing on and on, all do looks just like bright stains and I do not like that at all, because I can't imagine any reason, artistic design decision, why it should be that way. It's just annoying that every source of light in fact is not a source of light, but a self-illiminate-shader object illuminating itself and nothing else.
