Storyline

It has been a year since Curtis Craig was released from Greenwood sanitarium, where he has been through hell. All he wishes now is to live quiet, normal life: he has nice girlfriend, place to live and steady job at Wyntech Industries. However, lately it seems that Curtis is losing his sanity... or maybe someone tries to make him believe so: he sees and hears things which cannot be real, he suffers of psychotic episodes, nightmares and flashbacks, and if that was not enough - someone murders his co-workers in manner that only totally sick, psychotic mind could think of. Curtis suspects that Paul Warner, the corrupt and unscrupulous vice-president of Wyntech, is responsible to the current events and to his father's death which occurred many years ago. Unfortunately, both the obnoxious police officer assigned to the case and Curtis' psychiatrist believe he is lunatic, and would not listen to him. With no other alternative, Curtis starts investigating the murders, determined to prove both...

User Reviews

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...
