I looked over this page and I'm going to fail this nomination. I've been real hesitant to do this, since I don't like failing GANs, but there's simply way too many issues for this that prevent it from even reaching B-class. I'm failing this for two main reasons:

1. There is no development section. Any video game article trying to be a GA requires a section that talks about the game's production cycle, which is missing here. I'm not sure why that is, and really it prevents this article from even being a B-class. Surely there's at least some kind of info on the history of this game? Interviews with developers, maybe? There's no way this article could be a GA without a development section.
2. The writing and overall layout is confusing and unsuitable for something like this. The lead makes no mention of the game's reception or history. The gameplay is really long, is missing citations for a lot of info, and isn't interesting to read. The plot is also very long and I question why this needs two images of the same house for this one area of the page. The reception is a mish-mash of random comments from reviewers that is just "x said this, y said that", which isn't how the reception for a game article should be written.

There's other issues with this article too, such as the usage of unreliable sources (gamecritics.com, www.gamingboulevard.com, etc.), review scores being in the text, sources being in the lead, entire paragraphs having very few citations, and an unnecessary box quote in the plot section. But the two main problems I mentioned above are the most important, and are ultimately what made me decide to fail this. I'd really suggest doing a peer review and have other editors look over this, if you still wish to bring this to GA status. Namcokid47 ^(Contribs) 16:22, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
