I am downloading it now. >-pw I apparently was less enamored with Deadlight when I played it a few years back. I liked its graphics (stylish I called them) and animations (slick, I said) but was found its difficulty curve less appealing; it was all over the place, with some segments being ridiculously easy while other jumps were near-impossible. Worse, these differences didn't feel intentional but rather the result of sloppy controls and a lack of iterative testing. Of course, that was the original version and this "Director's Cut" may have smoothed away some of these rough spots. On the other hand, the years may have also worn away the appeal Chiaroscuro-style art, which once felt so novel, thanks to the hundreds of Indie imitators. I grabbed the game regardless. No sense letting a freebie go to waste, even if it wasn't one I enjoyed ;-)
