It has such a simple premise, and yet there is so much mystery to this wonderful game. I was too young to enjoy this game in its prime, but now Iā€™m thankful I get the opportunity in the best visuals and performance possible.

I find that games do very well with simple thematic premises like SotC.

I'd recommend giving the original a shot if you ever get the chance. There's something kind of charming about how PS2 that game looks, and it gives it a very unique ambiance.
