I'm not sure if I'm just seeing into things too much.. But the more you disobey, and the more colorful the world is, the less direction of where you're supposed to go you have. Perhaps a metaphor for life? Even if we go in our direction, sometimes when we listen to others some, we can have a clear sense of direction.
Overall it's not a bad game, quite easy, but not bad by any means. However, what's with all the gore? I mean, I understand that the whole gore/guts/blood/bizarre mutilation is to add to the horror and all.. but I felt it was way overdone. Gore can add to the whole horror aspect, but too much makes it almost comical. Another thing that bothered me was the lack of an explanation of the whole "yellow light." I'm not asking for some sort of elaborate explanation, but I found the crew logs you find don't really give that much information on the back story or what exactly this yellow light is.. besides a light. Though I guess it doesn't really matter much since the story itself is mostly a mixed around version of the movie Alien.
