Crazy to have someone with a throat slit as the thumbnail 😂
(Edited because I thought it was a protagonist, but nope. That's because there's a stage where you definitely can end up like that...)
More than anything because the way I heard of this game was from a Creepy Bad Endings video that, both because of the grotesque way they were to the point that he didn't like to bring them up...and probably because YouTube could throw a fit (although back then it wasn't as common), never showed the death screens - but said they usednto creep him out a lot.
But the foreboding and detailed artstyle of the rest of the game definitely painted you a picture such as dying by zombies or dying by toxic mutants. As you said, gruesome death scenes.
However, even though this is not my kind of game - mainly because I don't really focus on point and click games like this, it is still super cool to hear from someone else about this game without looking it up myself.
I didn't even know it was available on GOG, but it's great that the game isn't stuck in legal limbo like so many other games like this.
I've never been a huge point-and-click fan myself though they can be a fun diversion sometimes. I remember a little later when Myst was all the range but I had absolutely no interest in that game. I had a friend that had a game called Phantasmagoria though and that one, another horror themed game, always looked pretty interesting.
GOG has lots of great stuff though there's lots more that it will probably never have. Games that use licenses from movies, comics, etc. are perhaps the most difficult to get re-releases for. I'm sure there are all kinds of legal hurdles that just makes it not worth it.
