This first person adventure is a good solid release, filling a gap in the DS line up. The game looks great, with smooth, fast turning and well-drawn sprites showing off the portable graphics nicely. The somewhat generic plot plays out in a twisted hospital inhabited by gruesome, fleshy monsters apparently just waiting around to kill you. Combat is difficult enough to make the gradual exploration of the darkened, ruined wards tense and claustrophobic, with some challenging touch-based puzzles offering a nice change of pace at times. Think Silent Hill, in a hospital, on the DS and you won’t be miles off.
But while that sounds good on paper, in practise it’s not a very happy combination.
