It's a fantasy adventure with horror aspects, but not gothic horror IMHO.OK, let's forget the puns <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I did reread I-6 before EtCR came out, then bought EtCR the day it came out. And gave it a good week read. Surely, I-6 has a mystique to it. It was so different when it came out (it had a plot! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> ).But still the original had the right feel to it. I don't know how, but it had the right atmospherics in it, you could well imagine it. I didn't really felt the same when reading EtCR. While I liked the encounters around the castle, the inside was leaving an impression it lacked a believable feel. Too much abberations and demons, but something was missing about the feel too. It didn't feel dusty enough <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />In I-6, many rooms where empty and dusty (these were filled in EtCR, which is a mistake IMHO). But still those empty rooms had an eerie description for it, so you could well imagine the dust everywhere and the bleak light.Joël</blockquote>
