The game that started it all. I think this one is honestly one of the best ones in the series, the sex scenes are not anything like the new ones. They aren't bad but older for sure but still have some charm to them.
What made this game good was the atmosphere. Unlike practically all the new games, this one was entirely done in one location, the atmosphere was amazing. Dripping in mystery and puzzles. I think while the expansion in sequels to other areas makes the games feel bigger, this one did such a good job to make one location work really well.
I would relate it to the first resident evil. There is some excitement to figure out the whole location, see where the story goes, you have no idea about anything so everything is new. Where as in the newer games you have some idea.
The characters are pretty well done, the clashes between parties feels more realistic, regular people with real goals and fears. Instead of dodging cults and situations that should definitely get you killed you are arguing and blackmailing and exposing lies. Comes across as a competent murder mystery game.
The sequels are all good but this one did story and atmosphere the best.
