Trivia:

Ken Williams said that, in retrospect, the game would have been better if the character of Adrienne from Phantasmagoria (1995) (VG) were brought back.

Quotes:

[after Curtis fixes the circuit board at the alien dimension, the doorway opens. Curtis passes through it back to reality. Curtis is again at the Threshold control room. Jocilyn enters. They look at each other in silence for long moment. At last Jocilyn speaks]
Jocelyn: Curtis, I know. I know wha... who you are. I love you. Please, stay with me.
[Curtis gently caresses Jocilyn's cheek. Then he notices clicking sounds from the control panel. He pushes the glowing switch. Voice comes out of it:]
Voice: Hello, Paul Warner. The doorway has been damaged. It has become unstable. We wish the Twin to return to us. It does not belong on your side.

One of the best horror games!

This game might have been way different than the first, but in a good way.

First of the game is much longer! (that is a plus in the book for me as games that only last me a few hours seems a waste of money)

Second it keeps the "chase" feeling later in the game, where curtis has to kill mutations of his friends, boss and enemy.

Third it has you entangled in the story and you feel actually sorry for Curtis in some parts.

Fourth it was more violent than the first.

And there is alot more that makes this game better than the first...
