Can we pre order this with Interact? Thanks Becky the way you write that review takes away all my willpower and all I can think of is the words "buy" wave

One question from what I have read this can either be played in 1st person, or 3rd person. Since I had so much trouble with motion sickness in the Awakening until they fixed it, I am curious that means motion sickness shouldn't be a problem right?

Sherryah -- from what I've read, most people who had motion sickness problems with the first person viewpoint, were able to play the third person version without a problem. However, there's no way to guarantee that it wouldn't be a problem in any specific individual's case.

Sherryah, I'm sure Dave will get this. He generally does not put games up for pre-order until it has a definite release date.

Thanks Ana and Becky. I will take a chance and buy it and hope it doesn't affect motion sickness again.

Thanks Ana and Becky, will order from Dave when he has it. Screenshots are great. I recently went on a night-time ghost tour around parts of London and the back streets still look like this, especially in the dark... scared
