Yeah, I actually did that.   ;) So I saw 3.  What put me off a little were the ones beyond those three affected by earlier choices that I wouldn't get to see. 

I chose the red color, no to temptation, didn't confront the doctor (not sure if that mattered) after talking to the receptionist, and choose arms up.  Then I tried the other two endings.  I liked that the facegun ending gave more dialogue and information to understanding the plot.

I just finished playing the game over the last 2-3 days and overall I really enjoyed it.

Things I liked in order of enjoyment:
-The humor.  The writing was seriously funny in a way that not many good adventure games are these days.  The main characters witty remarks were great and the post-plot twist 2nd half was really funny.  As much as I enjoy the horror aspect, I think I'd be even happier playing a sequel that was a lighter comedy with this quality of humor writing.  Some of the stuff was seriously old school Lucasarts worthy funny lines.

-The art design.  Wonderful.  Really enjoyed all the varied styles for setpieces.  The backgrounds were fantastic and the character art was good.  Animation could've been a little better, but was ok enough.  I felt the game was a bit 'too' grotesque though, even as a horror fan.  But that's just my personal taste.

-Item puzzles.  Generally good and I'm always a fan of games with lots of items and places to use them.  I did get stuck a few times and had to resort to the walkthrough, but the game still took me a good 5+ hours.  In terms of difficulty I'd say for me this was a little harder than your average adventure game but not extremely hard.

-Music:  Was fairly nice.

-Flashbacks/dream sequences:  Thought they worked well and would've liked even more of them.

Things I didn't enjoy as much:
-As I said before I thought the gore was a little too extreme and grotesque.

-This is a personal thing, but honestly multiple paths that affect the finale really turn me off.  I don't have a ton of time in my life and I'd rather play two games and enjoy two stories than replay one game twice.  So I really prefer to get all the tale in one playthrough and it does leave this lingering feeling of incompleteness having finished it because I wonder what happens if you make other choices and yet I really don't have the time to replay the game even from a midway save where the choices are.

-Bugs:  Only ran into a few.  Most annoying was not being able to select any of the items in the item bar.  I got one crash to the desktop, and the area of selection on an item was sometimes a little iffy.

Overall though I felt it was very much worth $10 and a nice adventure game I'm glad I played.  Like I said, the writing was great and I thought the 2nd half was hilarious and very much improved the game until the humor kind of dropped away at the last 20%.  The story was a little confusing in the end and I'm not 100% sure what everything meant, but I get the general gist and enjoyed it and will recommend it to others.

Hope you get some solid sales with this!
