Well it did work for me but I agree with the other comment. The mouse sensitivity was way too low for me, and the game is way too dark in some places. In one room I accidentally broke a lightbulb and it made it pretty much impossible to navigate. You did good in making the items bright because if they weren't I wouldn't have been able to complete the game.
I would definitely not rate it a 1 star, though, the game worked from beginning to end and the sanity meter did add pressure to be quick.
