scary!
holy CRAP! Really fun story line. Not too hard not too easy game play. I like the constant restarting so you can figure stuff out after something jumps out at you! Great game! Horrifying ending! AHHHH!
Reviews for "The Insanity 2"
Point and Curse
You know, you did a very good job setting up a very scary story and successfully created a creepy atmosphere with so many grotesque textures and monsters. I applaud your work.
But if there is one thing that always pisses me off about point and click games, it's that no matter how hard I try and how hard I look in every room and every corner, there is always, always, always something vital that I miss that prevents me from progressing further. I don't want to quit because I want to see what happens next, and so I just sit there playing a game I can't beat angrily clicking everywhere, aimlessly trying to figure out the one thing I missed, the one combination I haven't tried, to no avail.
It is usually by this point that I break down and finally take a peak at the walkthrough, but you don't have one. Now I'm stuck with no clue and no help. I have no choice but to quit now and that pisses me off more than anything. It makes me feel so stupid because I'm looking at all these other reviewers who've figured it out. But that's it, I can't go any further.
I know I sound really angry, but really I still think you've done a fine job.
...Just... maybe add a walkthrough for the rest of us?

Yeah good point. The point'n'click genre has it's limits and that's why I've been experimenting with this and the prequel to try to find a nice balance between action to keep the player on their toes, and puzzles. It's not always a piece of cake trying to come up with decent game design, I took most of the criticisms from the first game and tried not to make the same blunders in no.2 but ah, it's a learning process. Perhaps No.3 will get it right.
There's a walkthrough link from the main screen, btw.
This really was a thriller..
The traps (especially the one in the room with the sink) were superb.
I liked the ingenious ways you had to triumph, and how far you had to sink to get out.. for all the good it does.
Very much in the vein of an horror flick, and I thank you for making it!
stupid
just like all point and click games... so dumb. Why do I need a key to open a door when i have a perfectly good foot? Why are half the items I see not obtainable? That handrail could break down the door too.
Point and clicks always fail because they are dumb.
Very Scary
Besides the animations being a little shaky it was perfect. The art/visuals were almost scarier than they needed to be while the music and sounds just made it chilling. This is definitely one of the scarier games in existence.
