Were you also watching Wretch's playthrough (or another) of the game on YouTube? I think I remember someone popping up in one with the username Sarah Rupert saying how they had enjoyed their death scene.

Beautiful sceneries, but I have also seen one very bloody scene in another screenshot collection. :(

I've been playing this for some days now. While the first game in this series was more traditional in build-up and interface, this one plays more like a movie with interactive segments. Voice acting, music and graphics is very well done, making the game look and sound very appealing.

The game is divided into segments where you have to perform some actions or solve some puzzles before progressing. This means that the story is somewhat on rails, but for Lovecraft fans, the content and details make up for that. The cutscenes are long and essential to the story. Frequently, they use another graphic style than the game proper, which was odd at first, but grew on me. This segmentation obviously lead to a non-open world, so some players will feel that's a loss. An upside to that is that if you are stuck in one location, you know that you have all you need to solve the necessary puzzle right there. That won't help if you get stuck, of course. A lot of the puzzles have to do with breaking codes and guessing the order you need to perform something. There are also some action sequences. I admit that I prefer the investigative puzzles, often combined with dialogue puzzles, and the ones that have to do with your inventory. My least favourite puzzle was the church puzzle.

The problem was that one bench was marked "III-I", which I thought had to be two. But no, it was

"Three - start here".

While I'm not totally sold on the puzzles front, I still would recommend the game to fans of Lovecraft or horror in general. It's quite a grisly story with graphic mutilation, so be warned. The game can be confusing if not played for a while, as there are many names and characters , and even sequences where you play as another person. The confusion will be notably less if you know your Lovecraft.
