Style-wise, it's simple and beautiful. It feels creepy (that silhouette looks oddly like a child...) and the puzzles are challenging, but won't make you want to kill someone. I've recommended it to a lot of friends, and they're all loved it.
I ended up buying this twice- first though steam, then this special edition, because it looks so pretty, and honestly I mainly just wanted the sticker.
Only mild complaint is I expected more to be in there. I don't know why. Maybe because I felt the 3D glasses were just, well, 3D glasses, and so the only difference between this and the Steam version is the sticker and art cards. Which are cool! But didn't QUITE feel like enough to justify buying it twice. Oh well, I just like owning things. And this is a pretty neat thing to own.
The 3D effect is great!
Interestingly, typing SHIFT + 3 + D on any version of the game will shift to 3D mode, (and SHIFT + 2 + D will exit 3D mode),
I found I sometimes had to type it more than once to toggle the effect.
So if you have the 3D glasses (red and cyan) - you can enjoy 3D without needing to buy the collectors edition.
Though for collectors of games and their packaging, it's a nice unit... The box, some cards with artwork on them, a sticker of the hero's head, the 3D glasses, and a CD.
This game was launched back in 2010 but its an instant classic. Any kid this day should play this game.

The contents are good, not the best. The 3D glasses are a bit cheap but the sticker is good although it has no stroke so if your sticking it on something black you won't notice it. The art cards are nice and all but I really love the box, don't know why.
You do get a steam key which is nice but I dunno. It's not the best special edition in the world. More could have been done.
The soundtrack in the game, and included on the CD of this special edition version, is equally atmospheric and adds to the tension of the game. Highly recommended.

Inutili, stucchevoli e quasi inefficaci, dato che il gioco è un 2d a scorrimento orizzontale.
Per il resto: ottimo prodotto.
Die Lieferung dauert ein paar Tage, aber der Pckungsinhalt ist offenbar identisch mit der in Deutschland vertriebenen Version. Es lässt sich in deutscher Sprache installieren, was nur für die Übersicht in den Einstellungen wichtig ist. Die Anforderungen an die Hardware sind überraschend hoch; es läuft schlecht auf Laptops mit onboard Grafik. Aber die Effekte rechtfertigen den Aufwand. Der 3D Modus gefällt mir nicht so gut. Der Effekt ist schon zu sehen, aber sehr anstrengend. Für das Spiel selbst ist er unnötig.
Je nach Geschick und Kombinationsvermögen ist das spiel recht schnell durchzuspielen - etwa einige Stunden. Der reiz es nochmals zu spielen ist gering, da man die Rätsel schon kennt. Aber man kann es ja weiterverschenken.
Une fois n'est pas coutume, un petit développeur met la honte aux plus grands, offrant aux joueurs un jeu de qualité et une édition spéciale à bas prix sans être cheap une seule seconde (on repensera à l'hideuse figurine de la seconde édition collector de Skyrim). Electronic Arts et autres UbiSoft, prenez-en de la graine...
*Banda Sonora [Solo en MP3]
*Tarjetas con escenas del juego
*Gafas 3D para poder jugarlo en 3D
*Una pegatina de la cabeza del personaje
*Código de activación para tenerlo también en Steam y por consiguiente poder hacer logros.
Otro imprescindible para los que les guste este tipo de juegos y también para los que quieran probar cosas nuevas [Yo sin ir mas lejos empecé a jugar estos juegos desde la completa ignorancia y me engancharon].
まず、輸入盤ですがPCに入れる際に日本語を選択できます。
そのままでも十分プレイは可能ですが、トロフィーなどの実績解放をして楽しみたいのならsteamの製品コードが同封されていたのでsteamに導入して楽しめばいいと思います。
(そのままプレイでは実績はつかないんじゃないか・・・と思います。)
個人的には満足してます。
ただ、もっと安く購入したいのならsteam等で買ったほうが安く収まるとは思います。
