It has it's good points. The insanity thing is interesting but got annoying eventually.
I don't feel quite that same way. I kind of like it! The insanity thing pops up as a factor only rarely though, but it is a change from the norm, that's for sure.

Anyway, I can tell there will probably never be a game based on HP Lovecraft that you will enjoy. Am i right?

Did you heck out Eternal Darkness? It is more story driven, and does not include as much in the way of shock / horror outside of the occasional zombie. And, you really have to play through it 3 times to really complete it - representing parallel universes.
