Although a DRM-free PC edition apparently used to be on GOG, it isn’t there now □ And the modern Steam PC version is apparently missing some of the game’s best music due to licencing issues – not to mention that it has Steam’s “ Connect to the internet to let us give you permission to play the games you’ve bought” DRM too. Yes, I could have played it on PC – but, although this edition is more easily-available, the physical edition includes the dreaded DRM ( no thanks!). Still, I didn’t expect to play the full game because second-hand PS2 copies of it were ridiculously expensive last year. The demo really doesn’t do the game any favours – with its short time limit and focus on the relatively boring opening segment of the game. When I tracked down a copy of this demo disc last year, I realised why. I hadn’t seen a survival horror game like this before.Īlthough I ended up getting Sum 41’s “Does This Look Infected?” (2002) album at the time, I didn’t get the game for some reason. When I loaded it up, the intro movie (warning – loud bell noise near the beginning) – with it’s gloriously corny “The Faculty” (1999)-inspired teen horror movie setting and Sum 41’s “Still Waiting” – absolutely astonished me. Well, this review has been over a decade and a half in the making □ Back in autumn 2004, I happened to notice the demo version of a survival horror game called “ObsCure” (2004) on a PS2 magazine demo disc.
