Creepier than reading a string of Phoenix Dark women posts when agonizing in fever, in fact.
Definitely worth a look for all horror adventure fans (having a PS2), even if it's relatively thin gameplay-wise.
It plays like Silent Hill with less combat and gore, and a more intimate storyline... everything is related at the third person as the little girl Jennifer uncovers what happens around her as she first enters a desolated orphanage, and then is tricked to join the sinister "Aristrocracy of the Red Crayon", made of little girls who rule the world and punish adults around them in the 1930s England by riding in a gigantic zeppelin... way out there! Very good atmosphere with very thin (but good) music.
You're told almost NOTHING at the start, it begins with you wondering what the hell's going on, and then everything is told with clever subtitles as if it was a children's storybook... definitely scores big points for originality... although there're lots of doors and some of the game's "scary" gimmicks get old after a while, and the camera is a little wonky... nothing we've never seen in games like Resident Evil, too. This is more like an interactive movie than a game, so you better rent this one.
Now I must find ways to capture a green butterfly in order to avoid my girl getting killed, and find some scissors to get my dog Brown freed from a leash emerging from some ceiling, to then stop the Red Crayon orphans!
*grabs popcorn and keeps playing*

I heard the camera was fucking wretched. Then again, I bought Haunting Ground when GAF said it was OO SCARY and it sucked loli clitdick.

I heard this game starts off well, then drops in quality to Wii levels.

it doesn't seem too bad at the moment
and well, GAFers are pussies with no taste, they probably peed their pants while playing Condemned when I just laughed at the plastic-looking junkies that I hit with axes and that went choking and screaming to death

That game was actually really fucking scary when you were low on health and you had to take out a squad of guys with machine guns and whatnot.

scary? not at all... suspenseful, but NOT scary, everything looked like plastic
unvolountarily funny in fact... funniest game since Warcraft II for me :lol

ntsc-uk score 5/10
Pros:
- Much in English

Cons:
- Awkward camera
- Brown’s is pointless
- Too easy
yeah ok, it doesn't seem like a masterpiece, although that review seems harsh... I still wanna finish it :(
