Fun to play but very weak (multiple) endings
The Good
The game did a good job of creating an immersive atmosphere. You play as a demolitions expert who arrives at a job late. Your boss has already gone inside to blow up the building, and is now missing. The story is told through a series of audio diaries that you find as you go through the complex, and the voice acting is quite good. The graphics and the puzzles are both serviceable.
The Bad
The complex is very maze-like, and it's hard to remember where you've been. You spend a lot of time trying to find a new location to go to or figuring out how to get back to some place where you were. Another issue is that the game sets up a supernatural story where you see all sorts of ghosts, but aside from one way to get yourself killed, there is no way to interact with these spirits, and all of the endings have a voiceover indicating that no trace of supernatural activity was ever found (by anyone other than you). Speaking of the endings, they are pretty much all let downs. Even the "winning" endings don't have any satisfying conclusion - just a voiceover basically saying that you won.
The Bottom Line
This is a fun way to spend a few hours exploring an old building, seeing some ghosts, and listening to some good voice acting. However, don't expect to get any reward beyond that.
