Il motivo? Ovviamente la strega! Perché come direbbe Dylan Dog: “Il fatto che io creda o meno all'autenticità di tali fenomeni è del tutto irrilevante. L’ipotesi che possa trattarsi tutto di una montatura è quella più caldeggiata dalle autorità ma, nonostante questo, un’angosciante filo di inquietudine sembra andare a turbare, chi più chi meno, molti di quelli che hanno preso parte all’indagine. Vengono sentite le persone vicine ai ragazzi scomparsi per farsi un’idea della loro personalità. Il lavoro svolto da un’agenzia privata, la Buck Buchanan detective agency, dato che la madre della ragazza era insoddisfatta dell’infruttuosa ricerca operata dalle forze di polizia. The Blair Witch Project was a film that divided audiences like no other.Dossier contenente rapporti, trascrizioni delle registrazioni, qualche lettera e in più: le pagine del diario ritrovato di Heather Donahue. One half were on the edge of their seats the whole time, the other half wondered why everyone was getting worked up over the shake-o-vision camera work and the fact that you never actually saw anything. The idea that there would be a game to follow up the film's success was inevitable. Exactly what you would do in this game was not. Let's face it, Blair Witch could have been a FPS, RTS, RPG and just about any other acronym you could think of.
It turned out to be an 'action/adventure', which completely buggered its chances with the gaming cognoscenti. The game is set in the one-horse town of Burkitsville, where all the atrocities took place in the film.
You play Elspeth 'Doc' Holliday, a member of Spookhouse a top-secret government agency set up to track spooky things (yes, the very same organization featured in Nocturne: expect obligatory appearances from familiar characters like the "Stranger"). You have been sent in to investigate the murder of seven children by one Rustin Parr, a loner who lives in the forest by town, which is said by local folklore to be haunted by the Blair Witch, who possessed Parr and forced him to murder the children. Naturally, anything relating to murders, rituals, witches and ancient evil is going to be popular, and many fans of the film are going to rush out and buy the game no matter what it's like.which would probably be a mistake. If the film confused you, then you don't stand a chance with the game.
You'd think the intro would tell you what's going on: Who you are and what you're doing.
