Visually, BWP is a macabre masterpiece. The Nocturne engine, combined with painstaking attention to detail, delivers highly immersive and excellently rendered environments. Exterior shots of the woods offer near photo-quality trees, underbrush, and shadows. The team at Terminal Reality has authentically recreated every nuance, from the splatter of raindrops hitting the damp ground to the gentle undulation of your cloak swaying in the breeze. Your character even stirs up leaves in her wake as she runs through the woods.
Interiors are also highly detailed.
Rustin Parr's dilapidated abode features superb texturing which simulates chipping paint, rotting boards, and even the occasional poltergeist. As in Nocturne , the color scheme is quite dark and somber. The use of lighting, although employed sparingly, is excellently done, particularly the refraction of your flashlight beam. The audio includes a variety of eerie and often-ethereal sounds intended to enhance ambience. Thunder and lightning are convincing enough to make you occasionally jump out of your skin, especially when an unexpected bolt strikes right outside the window while exploring the dark rooms of the house.
