This should come with an epilepsy warning! I really liked the concept of the game and it is well executed. The graphics\/audio combo makes for a really eerie and retro atmosphere that I really dig. The weird ocean\/boardwalk setting is just weird in a good way. The sound effect of the clown is disturbing. I would expect some kind of goofy laugh, but the &quot;OH YEAH-UH!&quot; is somehow scarier. Great stuff!
