The game is structured into DVD-style "episodes", allowing players to start from the beginning or skip to specific sections if they get stuck.
Gameplay
The gameplay involves interacting with the environment, collecting items, and solving puzzles, with a strong focus on survival horror elements. The story follows Edward Carnby, a detective investigating a series of supernatural events in Central Park, which leads him to encounter various supernatural entities and a mysterious artifact known as the Stone. The game features a unique inventory system where players can use environmental objects as weapons and combine items to solve puzzles.
Forklifts
During episode 6 of the game, the player is instructed to drive a forklift to build platforms from boxes. The forklift is also used to lift a stuck door, allowing the player to progress through the level.
