(Sci-fi theme, as the game offers scientific explanations for the paranormal. The movie it is based on is also on science fiction lists; skip intro note moved to the relevant fixbox; proper unit format)
(→‎Video: the game supports anti-aliasing, so setting it to hackable simply because it could be improved is not right; saying "locked to 30 FPS" about an FMV that does not have more frames is not right either)
