Man up.

Playing during the day with the lights on and desktop speakers instead of headphones is enough cheating.

Don't forget the windowed mode!! haha
Nah,seriously I'm playing the game at night with headphones, it's just that I don't like to be paranoid with the oil.
Well, it's part of the game.
It'll get much worse. Don't pussy out.

So I kinda have to play the game with a controller, but I saw some posts around the internet where people state that the game is impossible to play with a controller, because of the door opening mechanic?
I don't know, just try it. Or just find a way to play it with a mouse. It's that good.

Sorry to bump but does anyone have a link to those playthroughs where it's a really scared Japanese/foreign guy playing and freaking out the whole time?
I do not.
I've also not beaten this game yet, and I've had it for at least a couple years. Got to the place where the ceiling crumbles, then put it down and didn't pick it up again for a while. couldn't jump back in because I had no idea where to go. I think I'll start a new game when I have some beer and a free Saturday night...

Anyone else have trouble running this on a Mac/boot camp? It locks up on me during start up every time, I've tried messing around with the settings before hand every which way with no luck.

I think I'm 75% of the way through the game and maybe I'm an idiot but I only recently realized you have to manually refill your lamp with the oil you pick up. I thought it was automatic so I've been crawling through the dark for minutes at a time, when in reality I had more than enough oil to light my way.

Yeah I think that's pretty much the stand out moment of the whole game for me. There was some other good stuff here and there but that was totally wild and something I'd never really seen or thought of before.
I finished the game last night. Overall I really liked the atmosphere but the puzzles were not really my cup of tea. In a way it was very old school adventure gamey, go here and do this, go here and get this, combine these things in your inventory etc. I hate to say I had to resort to a FAQ a couple times which I really don't like doing. Also the story didn't really do anything for me but (near end game spoiler->)

the parts where you realize your character had tortured all these people was pretty fucked up (in an interesting way)
The puzzles are definitely throwaway in terms of challenge and seem entirely designed to get you to explore everything more than anything.
I just experienced my first real 'chase' with a visible monster and I nearly had a heart attack. I'm trying to be nice and quiet upstairs playing as its late but I involuntarily let out a gasping "oh my god" when I ran into a dead end and turned around to find the bastard right on my ass. That was some genuine panic.
