What players say

Players are divided: some praise the atmosphere, art, and story, but many cannot play due to a black-screen bug that has persisted for years and is especially common on AMD graphics cards. Those who can play complain of info-dumping, weak voice acting, and pacing issues, while others enjoy the Lovecraftian atmosphere and puzzles.
