While Scratches was a bit tedious in terms of gameplay everything else was truly great.And keep in mind that it was pretty much the work of one guy.

Monster I know about (didn't look that deformed, more Gollum-like, at least in the first animation, in the Last Visit he looks more ogre-like), but couldn't the guy just as well be the doctor? He had been missing for some years, but there was no indication he was dead, unless monster dude ate him.

I couldn't hear properly what he said when he entered.

Also, the letter in the desk, and one of the Blackwood's letters indicated that the doctor and mother hid the son from Blackwood, and he didn't know about his deformed son (cursed, lion-like son, depending on whether you believe the curse to be true or not), at least not until he presumably found the body and buried her (she had her throat ripped out, it had to have been the son).

For a guy obsessed with clearing the curse he never got very far, and that's why I have problems believing it was him. Why would he stay alive and take care of his son, but not try to finish the amulet for the curse? Also, there was one body in the crypt, why would the doctor have put himself in there?
