Decent, but too short!

The screenshots and trailers made this game look pretty cool, like something similar to Amnesia The Dark Descent. When I saw the price, I had my doubts on its quality, and those doubts ended up being correct.

First of all, the opening screen (eg when you press "New Game") is bugged if you have a higher resolution than 1024x768. Text disappears off the side into two black boxes. Then when the game finally started I couldn't do anything; I had to alt-tab out of the window and click back into the game for it to work properly. There are no transitions from the title menu to the game, nor from one level to another; so when the game swapped levels I thought for a minute the game had crashed. Transitions are so so so important.

The controls are not clearly explained; it took me a minute or two to realize that I had to equip my lighter before I could start using it, since I was under the assumption it would be assigned a key like "F". Even when you pull the lighter out from your inventory you still have to click a few times for it to "light". I found that to be particularly annoying. It also looks like you should be able to light up things like the lamps on the walls and the fireplace, but I've tried pressing all the controls while my lighter was out and nothing seems to work. If I'm not supposed to use my lighter on them, why does text pop up in front of them?

The game is also nonprogressible after your lighter runs out of oil if you can't find more of it. I don't know if you're supposed to find oil, but I couldn't find any from the start of the game and within five minutes I was unable to see anything. In real life, even when the lights are out in a house, your eyes will adjust to the darkness at least a little bit, so that you can make out shapes. It shouldn't be pitch black.

As for the scare factor, it definitely has an atmosphere, I'll give it that. The three jumpscares I ran into were kind of cheesy but they did startle me a little bit. But it was ruined by my frustration with the game mechanics and inability to see anything after my lighter ran out.

If you are looking for a good, short, horror game, this is not it. I would not recommend this game to anyone unless the developers address some of these issues first. It seems to me that it was really rushed and could've used a month's more worth of tuning up.
