I wonder how did Rick die.I mean,in the Bible it said that God made these creatures for tormenting the people (with their extremely painful stings) for 5 months but to kill no-one.And these aren't like people,to disobey God's will.The ending is also a little melodramatic and clicheic.All in all these are most of the flaws,but I loved this game.
Bonus meme-like comment:Am I the only one around here who thinks there is nothing wrong with Seth?

It would have been an awesame game but the video tape bits were poorly thought out, the car game was stupid and the shotgun game was... well I dont quite understand why the locust werent dying from a point blank shot to the face when they were in the targetting circle. Overall this is a 4 star game, but the mini games break the immersion too much.
if I wanted to play those sort of games I wouldnt have fired up a point and click adventure game.
But
The concept and plot are awesome, the game is for the most part very atmospheric with the acting being genuinely enjoyable. The artwork and animation is top notch.
Worth playing, but maybe give people the option to skip the mini games after a couple of tries when you make this sort of game again.

Really? We have to flametorch the flies twice and have them attack the cat? How were we supposed to figure that out? There is too much running back and forth and asking people things again, and the dreary hovering over every inch of the screen till the pick-up cursor shows up.

Ok, so they have like battled through hordes of these creatures, maiming them with axes, fighting and killing bear sized ones, and then finally when they get to the pharmacy they are like "no, we can't get through the door while that small creature is there"
8/10 game

Wow. That was suspenseful. That was amazing but I hate saying so cause it wasn't a happy ending. Had to use the walkthrough cause I sucked at this game but this was still great.

I get the impression this game was inspired by 'The Mist' a good watch for those who liked the storyline/setting of this game.

there seems to be a bug. After I get the walkie talkie from Rick (after using the toy remote thing), I turned left once and clicked the walkie talkie in my inventory. I was holding it in my hand and I flipped the antennae up, but then I froze. I can't do anything. I can't click anywhere and I can't open up the inventory.

Best game ever. :) Voice acting, plot, effects, atmosphere, is perfect. This is one of the very rare point n' click games which ACTUALLY contains a plot... and a damn good one! You know, not just the sort of actually clicking around. Oh I'm in love with Seth's voice actor. Seriously, the developers of this game have the talent to move on to bigger things, like a movie director maybe? :p I give 1000000 out of 10. Love it so much.

So.... the game has a religious message about the return of Jesus, but paints the only religious person in it as a fanatical $#!+ head? I'm confused.

Ever want to play a game version of The Mist with unlikable characters, and annoying mini-games? It made me chuckle a few times, but overall I didn't care for it, and the art isn't great. I couldn't even tell what the fish head was. Also, someone doesn't like cats.

Firts scene was 5/5 definetely. But then... As noted by many players, there are TOO MUCH "The Mist" influences, some of puzzles are to irrational (like burning a cat), and minigames - they harm atmosphere alot. Voice acting is pretty nice though.

I think a lot more could of been done with this but I did like the effort. Would have been better if a) it was longer b) the second half didn't feel rushed c) the story had been a teensy bit more original.
3/5 stars. It passed the time and had potential. :)

Haha for anyone that's actually read 'The Mist', this game is what happens when you make an adaptation of a movie adaptation of a book. Ends up nothing like the original. I quite liked it.

So...this was a little bit more than just "inspired" by "The Mist"...it was pretty much exactly the same thing, down to the pharmacy full of monsters, the car running out of fuel, and the crazy religious zealot.

What I really don't understand is why she had to throw away the lighter and deodorant. It would've been the most useful item in the inventory, later on.
