Creepy yet awesome graphics, good concept, ruined by one of the worst gameplay ever. It's a damn shame that they managed to fuck up the controls so bad, the game had potential.

SotB was a great "somewhat playable/interactive" Amiga Demo.
But not a fun game, fun to watch but not to play.

I remember a Saturday morning kids TV show (circa 90/91) where they used to play this via phone. I was mesmerised by it. I then bought the Zx version and was massively dissapointed (as always)

>> No.1972286

It exemplifies what I think about many UK-made games of that era: stilted, confusing gameplay with a high degree of trial-and-error; beautiful but stiff graphics; and no real sense of flow or progression, just a series of incongruous scenes.
