As a conoisseur of all things lovecraftian, this game and remake is a masterpiece. The atmosphere is perfect and the focus is on exploration and lore instead of spooky boi chases and gore. Both characters are interesting and well acted. The stories are different enough that it's worth it to play both. NPCs react differently and you get more background information. I picked her because it's her family's story and they did a fantastic job writing her story and her acting. The other NPCs are very well done too. I realized this in chapter 5 when they are all together.

It is very unfortunate that the PC port was plagued, as are so many, by performance problems and also by resident evil fans who can't comprehend that there are other ways to make such a game. I need to play the original now and see what that one is about. The game ran fine for me on an RTX 3080 after all the shader compilation stuttering was over.

In any case, there isn't much I didn't like and it was worth the 53 Euros at release even though I usually avoid paying full price. Check it out if you are interested in lovecraftian horror!
