Player's Review

A FMV-based adventure game that was originally developed for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer console, then ported to DOS, PlayStation and Sega Saturn. Also that a Director's Cut version exists though it was made 3DO exclusive and never left Japan.

The story follows Laura Harris as she goes to investigate a hospital after learning her father went on a mass murdering spree and barricaded himself inside. The hospital morphs into a castle upon her arrival, which she must explore to find her father.

This is the Director's Cut re-release of the game, exclusive to the 3DO and also Japan-only. All exclusive bonus content was put in Disc 1, while Discs 2 and 3 are the main game itself. There are many differences when compared to the original 3DO release and the other ports, all of them related to cutscenes, so I made sure to trigger every important cutscene, this includes certain hazards such as the spiked room, the trap near door number 78 and what happens when you fail to follow the correct sequence at Knight's corridor. I did this in conjunction with the showcase of the 'original release' versions of those cutscenes which I attached at the end.

In this longplay, while going through the main flow of the game, I made sure to find all four beetles that are required to obtain 'full completion'. These beetles bring a flashback scene of her mother being murdered. Also that when you encounter her father, you have two choices, either shooting him or accepting his offer, these decisions bring an ending each and I show off both. After it I show the game over scene that acts as a third ending, then it is followed by the bonus content that is exclusive to Director's Cut version: a text-only visual novel that narrates the events before the main story (in full Japanese), a series of trailers of the game, regional variants of the good ending cutscene (unlocked by importing a full save file from the original 3DO release) and original/Director's Cut variants of some important cutscenes, unlocked by following a button sequence after getting the good ending with 100% completion, which is Left Trigger+A+Up+Right Trigger+A. Though the unlockable pages are also accessible via a glitch in 'D Coming Soon' page of the bonus disc, select either III or IV and wait for the prologue scene to appear again.
