Got my copy today and played for a couple of hours. If you like horror games, you're going to be very happy with this. It plays a lot like Penumbra but the castle setting seems a lot more interesting and varied and the story so far is a bit familiar but intriguingly mysterious. The use of light is brilliant, and it's safe to say that if someone with a fear of the dark played this, they'd most likely become catatonic. Enemies seem few and far between (so far) like the Penumbra games, which makes them that much more frightening when you do come across them. You don't even know what you're running from because they're usually just figures clambering around in the shadows, I didn't see what they exactly were until well into my playing and it was a suitably scary moment.

In summation: if you like horror adventure games, you need to play this.
