    Overall this is a great game. From a gameplay standpoint, it uses a nice core mechanic, and interchanges other rules which keeps it interesting. From a horror standpoint... it isn't really scary. Suspenseful - sure. But I wouldn't call it scary personally. I particularly enjoyed the sound design and score. It creates the mood the developer is going for quite well. The one thing I am disappointed about this game is…

    This is a reasonably fun little game... at least for the first half, before the bizarro minigames set in. Fundamentally, it's a trippy retro platformer, but it also has a GLaDOS-y computer lady who talks to you throughout (and in between) the levels. The level design itself is quite clever and the mechanics are solid; at its core, the game is about jumping over and across obstacles in an attempt to reach the "spark"…
