Not too sure if you guys have played this, it's not an online game, it is however a free first person shooter similar to Myst but with a horror element:

It's fully free, just go to downloads and download it from one of the mirrors.

Yeah it should be, but not many people frequent that section, I was thinking about posting in Free MMORPG section, but that's way off.

Nice Find. Looks as if made on the doom 3 engine (In house 3D engine though). Screenshots look like it is prey :D Kinda.

Im about to try it out. Thumbs up

Ps: only thing is, is that it is a small client. Small game?

it's not even close to Myst...and it's hopeless to play when everyone is off....

It's an investigative first person shooter with puzzles, sounds a lot like Myst to me. Except this is more interactive whereas Myst was just point and click with a bunch of puzzles.

Edit: And what do you mean it's hopeless to play when everyone is off? It's a SINGLE player game.

Who insults a game when he has not played it. Making assumptions. This SINGLE player game is vary good. An amazing 3d engine I must say. How fun is it to open shelves like realisticly. So much interactivity.

you dont get any weapons, you use your enviroment or you run, theres no guns, and it IS only a tech demo, its really short, theres like 3 enemies in total or so.

Yeah, I enjoyed it a lot actually.

And to tell you the truth, it really did remind me of Myst.
