How it feels

A tense, atmospheric blend of escape-room puzzles and moral decision-making where every choice can mean life or death.

What players say

Players are sharply divided on this final trilogy entry. Many say the story fails to satisfyingly resolve the series' mysteries and the shift to 3D cutscenes with poor animation was a mistake. Fans of the previous games still praise the puzzles and find some charm in the goofy presentation, but others feel the game ruined the trilogy.
