It's a bit hard to understand how brilliant a game is, if you've never played it Wink. So I can understand that some people are not sure whether they will like this game or not. This game is unlike anything I've played before.
Don't get me wrong, I love this game. But I wasn't sure about that before I bought it.

Spoiler warning!

I completed the Archives section. No monsters and no real scares at all. I just entered the Wine Cellar and had to quit after the tutorial message "Make sure to hide when enemies are near", lol XD. I'll continue tomorrow or this weekend :p. I really have to gather courage to continue playing.

Five hours to beat Penumbra Overture and Black Plague? On the first playthrough? Overture took me 11 hours, and Black Plague took me 7. (Amnesia took 12). I sure love that Steam keeps track of that for me.

That's for someone who never played any of the Frictional Games' games. I've never played Penumbra series till two years ago. I didn't know anything about them. I can understand. But people after playing Penumbra series... blah.

I'm glad you bought and enjoyed it. That's my wish for everyone.

RE: Should I buy this game?

I've got another question! Big Grin I'm almost ready to take the elevator but I'm trapped in a room between two monsters (storage area, on my way back). Can I just wait for a couple of minutes for them to disappear? I tried to escape and hide but when I turned around he was right behind me Tongue.

EDIT: I tried to lure him to me by throwing some items but it didn't work. So I'm stuck now.

And here I was hoping that there would be no more monsters in the rest of this game Tongue

I disabled "insanity" because of the "upside down screen bug" but now I read on this forum that this game is better if you have insanity active. I didn't really miss it though.
