I am somewhat familiar with the event that inspired this game, so I got pretty into it during the opening dialogue explaining what happened.

And then I got out of it the second the gameplay started.

You're dropped into a snowy train station with no indication of who you are, what to do, or where to go. What's even more unfortunate is you're playing as an extremely out of shape fellow, for if he runs more than 5 seconds, he literally starts to pass out.

Super.

I get it; it's cold out, he's probably wearing heavy clothes, but f is it slow going.

So I stumbled around and found my way to the next part of the game. Now you can start exploring a large mountainous area. I walk around aimlessly, occasionally finding a journal entry, which unless you want to sit around and read a lot of text for 5 minutes, you're not going to know what it says.

Every now and then, I ran into some monster made of light who'd kill me if I let him touch me. For some reason I didn't get the achievement that says I encountered him until my third encounter. I don't know if that meant for that specific place or whatever, but there you have it.

By now the slow walk is driving me insane. I think the forced slow walk is it trying to fit in the attempted spooky atmosphere along with the music. But the games not scary at all. It's boring and slow and everything looks the same. And the light monster isn't scary in the slightest.

Being lost all the time while slowly exploring, man...what great fun...(it's not). It's nothing but rocks, snow and occasionally trees. So good luck finding your way through that.

Eventually I checked to see if I have a map, and I did, but it's useless. It's like looking at a map in real life. You've got to figure out where you are on your own, and to keep track of yourself you're gonna wanna check that map every time your character gets winded. But I didn't know where I was so I didn't bother. Plus that's not fun at all.

Every now and then I'd find coordinates written on a rock. Whatever that means... Later I realized if you hold the right mouse button on the map, it shows you the coordinates. Ok, that's cool, but are the coordinates on the rock telling me where I am, or where to go?

Anyway, I gave up after becoming so frustrated with the slow walking and being lost. There's nothing like walking for 5 minutes only to realize you ended up back somewhere you were trying to leave.

It actually would have been a decent game if they showed you where you were on the map, and increased the bloke's endurance. As the way it is, it's nothing but boring and frustrating.

I hate when games try to make things too realistic. I get enough of that in the suckage of life as it is. I play games to get away from real life...
