Eternal Darkness Retrospective | An Extremely Comprehensive Critique and History

Another lengthy retrospective! This time diving into the twisted, Lovecraft inspired world of Eternal Darkness - one of the finest survival horror games ever made.

We'll review, discuss and critique every single element of the game and also look at the disturbing history of it's developer Silicon Knights. Where else are you going to be able to watch a video that covers the Legacy of Kain, Metal Gear Solid, HP Lovecraft, Kickstarter and 90s Nintendo all in two hours?

It's part critique, part retrospective, part review and part history lesson - obviously full of spoilers and obviously full of my opinions.
