I liked it a whole lot. Dripping with atmosphere and cinematic to the max, but those are basically givens.

Both chapters did an exceptional job setting the scene really fast with the bare minimum of story context or setup. I thought the second chapter had a strong Police Quest vibe in a weird sort of way. It's nice to play an adventure with exceptional graphics too. The production values are amazing. I had a couple of concerns, though. Like the constant feeling of being rushed, especially during conversations. The swirling dialogue trees didn't help either. Also a little more interactivity would have been nice too. (Plus I don't get why you have to constantly press R2 to move the character.) Those are just minor problems, though. The positives definitely out weigh them. Listening to the character's thoughts make up for the lack of traditional hot spots too.

I'm most definitely impressed. There's really no other game like it...
