awesome game!! needs upgrades though. all cool games need upgrade!(i love upgrades) anyways hey you, below me!!! that hint is nice for the smart people,(like me. i figured it out quickly) but for the dumb ones(and the ones who are too impatiant to find it!) they arn't going to figure it out as easily. so i will give you hint 2. but this is all you get from me!! you need to hallucinate to find it!! oh and the secret requires you at least bring a lot of ammo and the super gun you get from that guy. not really but if you don't have it then you will soon wish you did!! arn't i helpful??

Now For A Proper Review (going strong since July 31, 2005):

Graphics: 8.5/10---Definitely has a NES or early PC feel to it which is a great backdrop for the eerie/exploratory combination you present in this work. Sort of a Alone In The Dark + Maniac Mansion sense of spooky.
Gameplay: 7.0/10---Taking a bit off of here because of the not so clear-cut menu and the initial difficulty of switching weapons. Ran out of ammo, switched to fist, and it wasn't a clear process to re-equip the gun once I got some ammo pickups. Enemies were decent in their design and difficulty.
Sound: 5.5/10---This is just my personal opinion but the high-pitched section of the music in the outside portion (after leaving building) gets a little hard on the ears after a bit. Maybe its intended as part of the uneasiness of the mood but I found it to be more annoying and repetitive than scary. An alternative that might've worked better would be random sounds like the crashing of a tree branch or a splash or something indicating that something's waiting out of sight. That randomness spread out every minute or so in the score would have worked much better I think.
Overall: 3.5/5---Definitely potential here and this is a series so there's plenty to chew on for the next entry provided there is one in the works.

I liked this game. It wasn't one of my favorite of all time, or even the week, but it was playable. I think what made it most enjoyable was how good the graphics were. You really get the notion that you're off in a strange world. The music is also pretty cool. What I didn't like was that it seems like you were just going nowhere for the longest time.

Oh well, I guess bigger fans of this game would get further than I would. I appreciate the unique use of enemies with the beetles and insects and stuff. It's a bit out of place, but really this world is so bizarre it's hard to think of anything that would be in place. I have not been having good luck with getting medals lately. At least the games themselves are pretty fun.
