I only know little bits of the mythos in question, or the writer's prose in general -- but all of it seemed eerily familiar. Has anyone else read Dean Koontz's "Invasion"? One of my favorite books of his.

The game itself was very effective in evoking the mood of hopelessness and being trapped, and I could FEEL the cold. The character portraits kept reminding me just how unwelcoming a place it was. The graphics were a bit TOO dark at times, though -- especially in his hotel room, I could barely make out any detail, except for the window, and one or two instances of pixel hunting (I accidentally moused over the tin can and then couldn't find it again). Otherwise, it was fun. The puzzles were pretty intuitive. The ending felt a bit rushed, as others have mentioned, a little too easy -- but the feeling of victory was brief (which, again, reminded me of that particular Koontz novel, which ended on a grim note, too, which is more typical of his earlier works).
