Atmosphere is layered on very well, with special mention to the audio design, though the voice acting is rather low quality. Controls, especially item management, are rather clunky, and requirements to progress can be somewhat obtuse to the point I resorted to following a guide (though I suppose if you don't reach the point of frustration/boredom this can add to the tension).
