I've never been into PC gaming, but this game sure as hell makes me want to be. Anyone have it? Played it? I might buy it off of Steam
 
you should've picked it up when it was on sale.
it's worth the price it's at when on sale, but i wouldn't have paid $20 for it.
$10/7.50 is fair enough, though. dunno when the next one will be or if you care.
it's a good/scary game, if you like that. just make sure your PC can run it smoothly or it won't be so spooky.
 
I have a brand new Mac, so I'm pretty sure it will run smoothly. I'm not a normal Steam user, a friend at school recommended it to me, so I've decided to try it out.

check the specs. just because you have a new computer doesn't mean it will run smoothly (though if it's a new mac, chances are it will)

if you're patient enough to wait, i would really suggest waiting for a sale. you'll be kicking yourself when the game goes on sale the weekend after you buy it, otherwise.

i don't know if they will put it on sale (since halloween is over and the xmas sale was the only reason it was cheap) but it might be worth waiting a week or two if you wanna save $10 or so.

it isn't a horror game, it's more of a horror sim i'd say. which is odd. maybe not a sim, but it isn't a traditional horror game in the sense of it shouldn't be treated as a game. you're supposed to immerse yourself in the game to get the best results (play at night/dark room/headphones/etc), otherwise you'll be disappointed. the most fun is not knowing what's around the corner, what's at the end of (or what will come from) the dark hallway.. and general atmosphere.

good stuff, i need to finish it. i've played about 3 hours i think. maybe 5. steam makes keeping track of it nice and simple, and has some neat-o community features. worth checking out.
 
oh ive played it. Pretty atmospheric and not much jumps out at you. It's creepy but not particularly horrifying. There's this part with a water monster that scared the crap outta me.
