I picked it up because I am a fan of survival horror, anyone have anything to say about this one?

First one was fucking awesome the later ones not so much. First game alone is worth the price.
Edit: All for 5 or all for 5$ each?

I see they bundled the 2nd and 3rd games together. Wish they would have continued the first game instead of jumping the sharp with the two sequels.

What kind of Survival Horror is it?
Gameplay-wise, what does it play like?

FPS without any guns, kind of sneak around and figure out various puzzles while avoiding death.Puzzles tend to be things like "escape this giant beast monster by moving in the most economical way or die". The first game is well worth the purchase. The two following games are kind of lame. The atmosphere and how the story is presented to you is what makes the game exceptional.

Like a Klansman in the ghetto.

Just the opposite here. I found the first game tiring, but the second was pretty cool. I hate horror games though and never went back to the third.
You're getting what you pay for, but as far as cheaper indie games go, they're decent.

The development team made a physics engine (and mouse control for manipulating it in 3D) which they were pretty proud of, and put together the first game as a tech demo. Folks liked it enough that the released it... folks liked the release enough that they published two sequels. I played the first and partway through the second as part of a group, on consecutive nights, while visiting a friend. I agree that the second is better than the first (since it eliminated combat which really REALLY doesn't work).
It's a unique horror adventure game, but with action oriented puzzles rather than running and gunning or conventional puzzle fare. The whole trilogy for $5? I'll pick it up just to play through them again and see the third game.

if at last you do succeed, never try again

My mistake i got them confused. The second one is the good one. First one is not bad while the third is a big disappointment. |
