Development
The game was heavily influenced by The Ballad of Flannan Isle by Wilfrid Wilson Gibson. Other influences include the Doctor Who television serial Horror of Fang Rock, and the ghost stories Moon Dial by Helen Cresswell and A Warning to the Curious by M.R. James.
In December, 2009, a Director's Cut was released that included enhanced graphics, effects, music, and sound as well as more ghosts and creatures to generally heighten the mood and ambiance to provide a scarier atmosphere. The interface however remained largely unchanged. A couple of puzzles were also made a little easier. The story was also enhanced, with the addition of a few new characters and ghosts.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“Men are only as good as their technical development allows them to be.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“Such condition of suspended judgment indeed, in its more genial development and under felicitous culture, is but the expectation, the receptivity, of the faithful scholar, determined not to foreclose what is still a question—the “philosophic temper,” in short, for which a survival of query will be still the salt of truth, even in the most absolutely ascertained knowledge.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“Theories of child development and guidelines for parents are not cast in stone. They are constantly changing and adapting to new information and new pressures. There is no “right” way, just as there are no magic incantations that will always painlessly resolve a child’s problems.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
