Well it won't work for me, I don't know about other people but so far from my experiance, this is useless to older machines at the moment and time, although I must say the gameplay I saw looks good.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It features a mysterious narrative that gives the player enough to work on, but as a first chapter of a potential horror series, retains key pieces of the story to keep the player engaged in the narrative and wanting to know more.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are good and the lighting is terrific, it all blends together to give the player a since of dread.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What is even more impressive is that Christian is responsible for most of, if not all of, the programming, sound design, and level design.
