This review is going to be a bit different from our usual fare on MMORPG. For one reason, the Park isn’t so much a game as it is an interactive movie, and a short one at that. You’ll probably only need 1-2 hours to play through Lorraine’s nightmarish experience, but if you’re a fan of Funcom’s Horror MMORPG The Secret World, it’s more than worth the price of admission.

Little. As the article said, you just kind of experience things as they happen. It's a sort of thought experiment for Funcom. Testing Unreal 4.

In my books every $5 should offer a minimum 2-hour experience. If the first 2-hours does not tickle your pickle then refund.
Your money is far better off being spent on a game called 'Fran Bow' which offers a far superior experience for only $5 more.
Especially since I mostly just wanted to address the last part, since that's totally off... like saying wow is a lame mmo, play Battlefield instead. Hmm... actually that's a fairly sound suggestion
Fran Bow is a great game, but it's 1) a point 'n' click adventure, 2) art style is quite the opposite of Park, 3) it's not even creepy, more like dark, with humour and puzzles and funny comments. Overall it's a totally different game and gameplay experience.
There's one aspect in which Fran Bow is indeed better, without a doubt: it's not tied to Gabe's steamy pocket
Now allow me to rant regarding the material: Who the fuck names their kid Callum? but anyway Goddammit Callum.. and one more thing... If you got to the boat ride of doom...
It almost put me in a death bed I was so bored out of my mind at that point. /Refund LOL~ *Ahem* anyway.
The Park is simply not a fun game and is surely not a scary game. I don't see how I could describe to those who read this other than calling it a "Walking Simulator" because that's all you literally do in the bloody game.
Now addressing the reason you made your post. I never said Fran Bow was the only game alternative to check out, and clearly did not say what your THINKING I said... we're reading the same sentence right?
Fran Bow is a superior experience, and so I suggested it (Even though it is nothing like "The Park) for only $5 more ($15) I was simply stating your money is better spent elsewhere
Here are OTHER games that are also FAR MORE WORTHY of your money (Resident Evil 4/6, Bioshock1/2/inf, Dead Realm, The Binding of Isaac/etc) for $10 and under on steam right now.
...and yes all these games are FAR better than "The Park" which is (in my opinion) is one of funcoms worst games to date... but you are right about one thing and that Fran Bow is a great game.

Poor source material: source material was TSW. Ragnar is one of the best world / lore builder out there currently, but I guess to each their own... if that 100+ years, from Henderson up to Winter's closing down the Atlantic is a weak source to you, I can only repeat my LOL from above
Fran Bow: if the wow vs Battlefield analogy wasn't clear enough, I ment your "a game called 'Fran Bow' which offers a far superior experience" is not even apples to oranges, it's more like burgers to oranges
(and yep, Fran Bow is a cool game. Regardless of comparing it to totally different games...)
Steam: Neph
I just don't see how you can LOL when they use overtold material like Hansel & Gretel... It just put me to sleep personally. If you can watch the video below, and come back here and still have a laugh... man my laugh will tower over yours. I think id be in tears...
Just keep in mind the video below is 7-minutes and 40-seconds long and the game itself is only 1H, 30M long. Id also like to toss in I have many more reasons as to why it isn't worth $10 and sought a refund, but this one was the nail in the coffin for me.
