Ethan is then left on the wrong side of the law and sets out to clear his name with the help of chief lab tech Lt. You are caught off guard, stripped of your gun and end up in some serious crimes. In pursuit of the suspect, Ethan soon ends up separated from the rest of the group and is ambushed at the potential suspect. During the investigation of the crime scene, it turns out that you and the police aren’t the only ones still at the scene of the crime. The game starts out by arriving to the newest crime scene of a serial murderer named the “Match Maker”, who is named for the way he positions the victims with oddly disfigured mannequins. You’ll be playing as FBI Agent Ethan Thomas who has been assigned to a case of increasingly frequent serial murders in the fictional city of Metro. The main emphasis for this game was on melee-based combat, puzzle-solving and searching for clues/evidence. For me this was an intriguing game because it was a first-person psychological horror game with a dash of CSI aspects thrown in there. It was published by Monolith, who also released F.E.A.R.
