Similarities to the Shining


Does anyone besides me see that this game has many other similarities to The Shining (Stanley Kubrick movie) beside the hedge maze reference after the asylum level.

the overlook hotel was a a manifestation of all evils that had happened, so was Abbot prison. the main spirits in the shining were all restless souls of people who had died in the hotel in the early 1900s. Dr. Killjoy also was alive in the 1900s.

The special features state that The Shining was their main inspiration. Which is cool.

Yeah the writer of the game Richard Rouse III, was inspired by the Shining.
