A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Enjoy! The intended experience is playing on Hard (semi-permadeath, you have limited extra lives) but I recommend playing on Normal. I started off on Hard but restarted on Normal because I still have a faint hope of actually finishing the game and I think it's a little too difficult to pull that off on a first playthrough on Hard (and I'm not going to start over if I lose my save after 15 hours).

But keep that in mind when playing. The tension and stakes are just so much higher when you have limited extra lives. It definitely does heighten the experience.
