Great concept, nice graphics, but why is it so bad??? [Posted on 2001-10-03]
Dreamcatcher did it again. Yes, that's right, they've taken a potentially interesting subject, put up nice graphics, recorded great sounds and voices, yet still managed to make the game bad. This game is like a horror novel set in the middle of 101 Dalmations.

No offense to these guys because they still manage to make us poor gamers have a crack at the new games because all their games go for 19.99 and so forth.

The setting is really cool for this game, but the characters look really stupid, worse than something Disney could come up with. The combat system is weak also. Swing that cane, doctor. One hit and the madman, or whatever that polygon monster was, is down.

Another thing is although I prefer 3rd person views, this one makes me sick. It scrolls too fast and you really can't tell where the camera angle will be with every little move of your, yes, that's right, JOYSTICK!!!!!!! Who the hell would release a an adventure game in PC platform in 2001 that is intended to be used with joystick interface?

Dreamcatcher no doubt.

But, it was a nice try. Stick to Traitor's Gate or the Atari 2600.

Two Stars.

Entertaining [Posted on 2001-12-17]
I got this thinking it would be a so-so game to give me some chills. After playing I discovered it was a very entertaing game. It doesn't work well with a joystick (down-side) but still works great with keyboard. The people and enviornment are a wierd but thats what it's supposed to be. I would recommend this game.

A bit disappointing [Posted on 2002-07-07]
I usually love games and especially mystery games like the particular one. Unfortunately, I found it rather boring and tiring.

lame [Posted on 2004-01-27]
dreamcatcher is getting really bad games out not so much they are bad by the type of game etc, but by how much updating you have to do to play it. in the last 2 games i have bought, post mortem and jekyll and hyde. post mortem crashes at the same point of the game...and i have been working on that for a week and i still don't know what is causing it. with this game, the keyboard didn't work, and the visuals are blurry. i did get that fixed, but the game really sucks...the controls are to hard to remember and they are jerky. Don't buy the game, i don't think it worth it...graphics are awful, can't see anything to well. i see why the added adventure company to the list, cause it is an adventure just to get the game to play.
