I restarted Eternal Darkness last night, taking the Ulyaoth path (my first one was Xel'lotath), stopping right after I found Edwin's chapter page. Man, this path is freaky since you don't get the Xel'lotath alignment rune until Max's chapter (which is the chapter after you get what you need to Recover). The designs on that "To Be Continued" message beat that skull design that appears after loading up a game in my book.

Speaking of freaky, I don't know where it was, but Gamieguy once said something about seeing Alex in a bathtub and him having the volume maxed out when there was a scream. I found lots of bathtubs (The Roivases must love their bathrooms. There were at least two of them, maybe three, and Maxamillian seems to find that indoor outhouse quite lovely by the description you get when you examine it), but no scenes with Alex in the bathtub. I didn't have the faintest what he was talking about. But last night, I found out what he was talking about.

I saw it, but I didn't scream. I came very close to tossing my controller into the air, and I felt very cold after I saw it, but I didn't scream.

On my previous route, I didn't even go down that part of the hallway until completing Karim's chapter and picking up the Xel'lotath alignment rune, then recovering my sanity to max (all I experienced was that damn phone ringing, which confused me as my sanity was maxed).

I have to remember to get the Mantorok Codex this time.
