Trivia:

If you complete Karim's level with low sanity, you get a false ending where it tells you to wait for the next Eternal Darkness game. This was a parody of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, which had a similar ending.

Quotes:

Pious Augustus: I am the scourge of God, appointed to chastise you, since no one knows the remedy for your iniquity except me. You are wicked, but I am more wicked than you.

Scary and messes with your mind

As you play through the game you have a level of sanity, and if your sanity goes as low as it can get your character goes insane. Things such as your character 'dies' or the game 'turns off', but none of this is really happening. The game is actually very easy, but it gets harder after a while. In the beginning of the game Alex sees that her grandfather died, and she finds chapters of a book that answers her past, and soon she finds out how he died. You play as many characters throughout the game, but after about 8 chapters you start playing as Alex. I give this game an 8 out of 10
