Every now and then I have a dream that I’m back again in school in the 1980s. I still don’t know the correct answers to any of the questions my teacher is asking me. My uniform is really too tight to wear. I’m always late for class and I‘m due a kicking from school’s friendly bully at lunch time. Thank god it’s all a dream. Well in The Coma: Recut, that world of nightmares and schools are examined and played out in a fresh new take of the horror game genre. And it’s all available now.
