I think I'm cursed with this franchise. I really want to get into it, but always encounter glaring issues with each titles.

This one hurts tho, because the game is fun, but this port is horrible. This game NEEDS a remaster.

No resolution option and the aspect ratio is locked to 4:3.
For the 4:3 aspect ration, this is fine, it was designed that way back in the day (but if you hate 4:3 and want to play in 16:9, the game will be stretched). For the resolution tho, the game's launcher does not work on modern hardware and os, so you need to add extra arguments to the executable to set the proper resolution you want.

You need to fix the FPS to 60
The game will have weird physics, menu bugs and also visual bugs if you play with high framerates. You must lock the fps before you play.

No native controller support
For this game's age, the opposite would have surprised me. Thankfully, the SteamInput is very robust to map the keyboard on a DualSense controller. So if you plan to play on a controller, expect to play with SteamInput configuration a bit.

AMD users could have Black Screen during FMV Cutscenes
I'm playing on an NVIDIA GPU, so the game was working fine, but there is a lot of report of players having black screen during FMV cutscene on AMD GPU. Fixable for what I've read, but keep that in mind if you plan to buy this game.

The music is midi based and there is no way to fix it
The audio of the music is bad. Like VERY bad. It completely ruin the creepy atmosphere that the game is aiming to achieve. And since the music is "composed" live during gameplay, you can't simply replace the files.

Weird Collision detection
There is some weird collision detection where it make very hard to the player to interact with the environment. This makes it hard to unlock doors and just triggering a puzzle

Game Breaking Bugs
I could no longer progress in the game, I got stuck at boss in the library. Used 100 Shotgun ammos, 30 Handgun ammo and 10 Grenade Launcher rounds on the boss, it just refuse to die. Not only that, but you can't just leave the room while its alive. Seems to be an obscur bug for what I could find on the web, but this is the moment I gave up after a few tries.

Despite all of this, the game is kinda cool. The pre-rendered background are great, the flashlight mechanic is awesome and exploring the mansion while defeating the ennemies and solving puzzle is also fun. Not a game for newcomers into old school survival horrors, but you will feel right at home if you like the older Resident Evil and Silent Hill games.

I really wish this game would function properly, because there is something great within all of these technical problems. Hopefully, the source code of this game is not lost and the owner of the IP will do something with it.
