I have to agree :)

The demo does not represent how spooky the full game is.

As we all know, the scariest things happen in the dark...

I like how sounds are used to convey the horror rather than images. That said is there any character animation at all? I realise it's first-person, but there are some animations such as handles turning and photos drying (

Well, you're cut off from civilisation, so there's nobody else in the house...or is there? :o

Yeah, I can see how answering my question will take away the mystery if you are alone or not...I'll wait and see.

Mind you, depends on what you consider a "character" too ;D

OK not another word about this ::)

As a beta tester for Scratches, I can not even begin to describe just how effective the mood is in this game. I've never played an AG where I literally have goosebumps and am afraid to move forward. It's really a remarkable achievement! Everything is done perfectly and not only is Agustin a HUGE horror fan, he knows what makes them tick and can create his own brand of horror along with the very best writers and directors out there.

What I liked the most about this game is that it really works as a story. Many games have great puzzles linked by a weak storyline. I believe Scratches is so scary because you really buy the characters and the situations you're presented. Not mentioning the spookiest soundtrack ever!
Another great point is the fine humor, mostly in the easter eggs, but also in the conversations. Very nice ideed!
