It ok, not really a horror. The sequel is also translated so try it too if you like the original.

It's far worse than the PS1 King's Field and Shadow Tower games.

Basically imagine King's Field but if you took out all combat and RPG mechanics.

That's it, it's sort of like a really slow 3D point and click adventure.

The art and atmosphere is good but that's about it.

I'll be playing this soon now that I'm done with their dungeon crawlers on the PS1. I know it's basically a walking sim but as a horror fan I've always been interested in it

Not always a bad thing honestly. As much as I hate to admit it, something like Rule of Rose would've actually benefited from being that type of game

You'll either love it or hate it

Absolutely worth it, pretty cozy adventure game, with tons of varied full-3D assets and environments. Voice acting, unique animations and cutscenes for all events, one of the best PS1 horror games really. However, it’s not really scary except for a few tense moments. Still horror themed though

Good riddance

Controls like ass like you might expect 3D Movement with a Dpad to do. You'll want a walkthrough for the true ending.

For me it's the casualized low iq entry.

I found it to be absurd and what convinced me that From had devs influenced by the D series and the concept of virtual actors.

I played this game in the 00s not knowing anything about what people thought of it and I loved the absolute fuck out of it

and then I found out it's supposed to be an awful game. I'm convinced it's 100% sheep mentality opinion without really trying to the game. Like all those people who complain about the walk speed, who don't seem to have played the game enough to realize THERE IS A FUCKING RUN BUTTON.

D was a very groundbreaking, popular and influencial game. "Video game history" likes to forget about it because it's an FMV game.
Although Shinji Mikami doesn't outright say that, if you read between the lines, you realize that without D there wouldn't have been Resident Evil.

With that said D was probably influenced by Mansions of Hidden Souls except they took the concept much further
