I haven't played it anymore since that post. Been on Indiana Jones this week. But it did not crash on me yet. I'll hop on it again soon and see what it does.

I tried once to play this. But got instantly turned off after the intro section and it dumps you in the town

I don' know if you still have the game but I would suggest give it another try. If nothing else, it'll be a refreshing change of pace compared to the recent Ubislop style glut of map vomit games.

Oh, man. Don't quit on it. You can really tell Swery was flying his little budget ship apart at the seams making this game. They gave him $20 and said,"make us a budget platformer," and he went off the rails and made a budget open world X-Files/Twin Peaks/GTA.

It's a great example of when high ambition clashes with a very limited budget. They did their best and the game has things that many modern games don't do now, like a fully realized city with NPC's who all have their own daily schedules and routines they do with or without your involvement.

Bumping this thread for some very important new discoveries.
For those who followed the creator's commentary post game, he had said that the publishers made him tone down some of the gore in the game, specifically one named characters death scene.
Looks like someone was able to find a work in progress version of that uncut scene, it's so old it still uses the 2007 original character models, before the game got the overhaul, new title and characters.
Putting the videos under spoiler tags just in case.
The death in the final game is kinda weird, a bunch of curtains swirl down and snap the character's neck / choke her to death.
In the un-cut version, looks like the killer has some fish hooks or something sewed onto the girl and cutting the rope makes them pull her intestines out. Pretty gnarly, unfortunately the quality of the footage is dogshit, it's also WIP so probably doesn't have the final intended gore effects.
