Can I be up front and blunt about this game? It does not sound like an ADVENTURE game to me, but in its own words a "desperate struggle against fear and death" and I'm so "who needs this?" I want to go adventuring and exploring interesting places, picking up inventory along the way to use who knows how (the curiosity factor being strong here!) and having fun. I'm not in the mood to be desperate about anything, thank you kindly.

Alpha Polaris is a horror adventure game. The game is still in developement so a great deal of it is still unknown. Horror games aren't for everyone just as cartoon games aren't for everyone. For the non horror game fan there are some other adventure games that hopefully will finally be released this year.

Right you are! I'm in the cartoon camp and I don't think horror and adventure go together, sort of an oxymoron to my mind as they cancel each other. Although it does seem to me that horror sells well and horror games are much easier to find.
