I decided to give this another try and was able to get into the tutorial. The gamma for the video is almost unusable, and once you get into the manor house the controls are glitchy and unforgiving.
I lowered the resolution on the software video to 800x600 and boosted the in-game gamma as much as I could and that was a little better, but the OpenGL type rendering was very sensitive, leaving triangle artifacts all over the screen. This might work better in a VM, I'll try that next.
Shame, I was look forward to playing it again!
