Purchased this game on Steam today, after reading reviews about it being the scariest game some reviewers have ever played.

Its a stealth game where you are just an average Joe Journalist who infiltrates a mental health facility run by a malign corporation ( they always are in video games!). You can't fight the occupants of the facility, as you are only armed with a camcorder with night vision, so its all about stealth then running and hiding when discovered. At times it feels like you are in one of those mockumentary horor movies

I'm not too deep into it, at only an hour and half played, but it is indeed an exceedingly creepy, creepy game. If you are a fan of horror games and/or stealth games, this is a solid buy at 20 bucks on Steam. 8/10, as I have run into a few bugs, but other than that, its 20 bucks well spent.

I've played it now and I recommend it. It starts off quite graphic and disgusting(the two men I don't consider to bothersome, the scene immediately after their introduction a little more so) and ends in a way that I shouldn't spoil. The goals you have tend to be a little repetitive(get two fuses to start up the laundry chute, etc, find some dead guy's key) but that is offset by a lovely change of environments.

In a lot of ways it is like amnesia set in a modern period with a larger budget, less occult stuff and more "science".

SPOILERS BELOW. DO NOT INSTINCTIVELY CLICK SPOILER BUTTON.
Spoiler:
I don't think he died in the end, since with that power I imagine he'd be hard to kill. They probably did the black out for sequel potential.
