  Koudelka - GameCritics.com
Born a medium, which for all intents and purposes means she's a witch, Koudelka was ostracized by her village and has grown to be a bitter and untrusting individual.
Koudelka appears to be Sacnoth's attempt at making a deeper survival-horror experience, with the addition of traditional turn-based role-playing game elements.
Speaking of which, Koudelka takes place on essentially the same area so no matter how deep in the game, I still found myself going through the same areas repeated as I "unlocked" a secret door in one place with a key located on the other side of the building.

 Josef Koudelka, Prague, 1968 (kottke.org)
It was taken by Josef Koudelka in Prague in 1968, just before the Soviet Union invaded and put a stop to The Prague Spring.
To demonstrate the emptiness of the streets at noon, Koudelka stuck his wristwatch into the scene before shooting it.
A simple, brilliant gesture that adds not only a temporal dimension to the photo but also a sense of solitary humanity in contrast to the empty streets.

  Koudelka Review
The developers of Koudelka decided to "fix" this problem by making you walk in whatever direction you press on the d-pad (like you would in an RPG), but this actually makes the control worse in my opinion.
The problem with this control set-up is that the camera angle is always changing, so if you're pushing left on the d-pad to move left and the camera angle changes, you'll be going in a different direction all of a sudden.
Since you enter into battles in Koudelka like you would in an RPG, there is never anything that pops out at you suddenly, nor do you ever get the wonderfully tense feeling that something like that could happen at any moment.

 Review: Koudelka
Koudelka does have a mature storyline, which could be disturbing to the younger players.
The sound in Koudelka can be easily divided into two parts: the sounds, voice acting, and music during the exploration part of the game, and the sounds and music during the battle sequences.
Koudelka has a consistent insincere tone that lends support to her personality, and Edward's naïve comments also support his character.

Koudelka is a rpg/ horror game, in spite of some of all the negative things that's been said about this game - I'll go ahead and give it a shot.
Koudelka is a mixed bag, its great at times and very frustrating at others, just when you though you've defeated a certain kind of enemy, the bounce right back and kill you all over again!!
Koudelka is very interesting; it's got a nice horror feel to it, some elements of RPG thrown into the mix, but overall it's rather average.

 A look at the Josef Koudelka retrospective - 10-01-2003 - Radio Prague
Here we have a chance to observe Koudelka's earliest fl and white images, which had a remarkable influence on how theatre in Czechoslovakia was photographed at that time: strong lighting, flattened images of faces, stylisation in away reminiscent of early prints by Andy Warhol in its graphic simplicity.
In her writings from the 1960s Mrs Farova points out that even Koudelka left photographing the theatre for other themes, he began to look for the theatrical in the world., something which is certainly embodied by the series 'Gypsies', shot between 1962 and 1970.
Finally, some subjects in Koudelka's pictures have little choice but to lie still: a wolf, or is it a dog(?), shot through the head while tied to a tree, its fang bared in a growl.

 Gaming Intelligence Agency - PlayStation - Koudelka
Koudelka, the first RPG by Sacnoth, a development team made of ex-Square employees, happens to be another story all together.
Koudelka lacks so much in the gameplay side that continuing throught the game becomes quite a painful experience.
Thankfully, Koudelka is also one of the shortest RPGs in recent memory (the first disc alone clocks in at a mere 2 hours, including time spent leveling up), so the pain need not last long.

 GamingWorld - X Clusive GNP: Koudelka (PSX)
Hailed as a survival horror RPG by publisher Infogrames, Koudelka certainly features its share of atmosphere with grotesque creature designs that defy the laws of nature and genetics, and a suitably creepy setting in the Nementon Abbey in Wales, vaguely based on a real-life monestary in the same location.
The story told of a young medium named Koudelka Iasant, who was called to the monestary with a vision she received.
While exploring, she meets up with Edward and James O’Flaherty, two other people who were exploring the abbey for their own reasons; together, they discover the dark history of the monestary and its inhabitants in one of the most intriguing stories ever to grace a PSone RPG.

 Geoff Dyer on Koudelka
Koudelka’s method was a continuation of the practice he’d insisted upon when working at Prague’s Theatre Beyond The Gate.
Thereafter the world became a stage on which Koudelka’s view of its tragedies and dramas was enacted and recorded.
Technically, the feeling of immersion in the image is often the result of his fondness for a wide-angle lens, which has the effect of prising open the action, of ushering the viewer into its midst.

The story of Koudelka begins with a young woman named Koudelka Iasant who is called to the Nemeton Monastery by a faint voice.

Koudelka is a turn-based RPG with a strategy grid thrown in, so you can move your characters around before attacking or have your characters duck in a corner.

When Koudelka looks at something important, the player is given a close-up shot of what she found instead of a text description of the item in question.
Koudelka is not the most sympathetic main character, having quite the attitude I hadn't expected, James is a self-styled bigot who's really not, and Edward, well, I'm not exactly sure how he fits in.
Koudelka's a medium and James a priest so seeing spiritual powers is arguably normal to them, but Edward's just an "average Joe," to quote Koudelka.
