Just finished Death's Cold Embrace all in one night, it was really good and even though the story was sappy as fuck it worked quite well for what it was. Obviously it suffers from heavy map re-use that a lot of people have criticized it for already but it did some interesting things with it at least and didn't have you running the same content in the city one over and over (opens up new areas, closes others off). The second visit to the mansion was a bit meh though.

Actual spoilers ahead (also pic):

Really liked the cyborg midwife subplot, I knew immediately when I was reading the notes in the inventor's house that it was a CM in the basement, too bad it uses the shitty SS2 HD pack model instead of the original one which is way scarier. I liked the ending for it a lot where you find out that the head guard of the mansion actually killed the inventor and she was just trying to revive him the whole time (starting with rigging him up to the electrics to try and shock him back to life, then having a scrap of the necromancy book on her at the end, which is why she kidnapped the head guard hoping to do the ritual to bring the inventor back with him as the sacrifice). Or at least that's how I understood it all, it was really quite good uncovering it bit by bit though. To me this kinda stole the show from the usual romeo and juliet love story.
