- Use of Theme - 4
- I think the main mechanic of the game (the dropping sanity/hp) reflects well the theme.
- Gameplay - 4
- I loved the adrenaline rush i got from playing this. At first i was afraid it was gonna be a very monotonous game but i was pleasantly surprised when i found out it wasn't the case. I don't give 5 stars because in the rooms where you have to drop under a certain level of sanity/hp it is not obvious what you need to do and the player might get very confused.
- Creativity - 4
- I really liked that we went from a realistic scenario into a more dream like scene and all the red messages that told you what to do, they were quite creative and kept the game fresh.
- Art - 4
- The art style lended itself well to the style of game. It was creepy and would make you nervous even if you are a horror fan. Overall very well done. I just wish that in the more abstract stages the background wasn't just a grey solid color, that kind of ruined the experience a little. I also didnt really understand what the white people were and their purpose.
- Sound - 5
- The sound design was excelent which made de game such a good experience. the sound of the monster getting closer was truly terrifying.

I played the game until I was in a room marked >98. But then I didn't get any further. Is that the end? or would I have to have a health bar of > 98 to continue? I am a bit confused by the whole thing, maybe you can help me without spoiling anything. :-D
Is the health recovery by the beds the only use of the theme or is there more behind the game.
