I know I am many years late, but Haunting Ground has caught my attention again after all these years (I've replayed the game so many times.) so I looked for some fanfics, especially ones with Riccardo he's my favorite Stalker, and I have to say, I wish there was more of this story, or a continuation of it. I will forever keep returning to, and rereading this. :)

Just reading this now (after a second playthrough of Haunting Ground). This is very well written. I like how you fleshed out the characters and gave them more background. Good job incorporating the game play into the story. Thank you for not romancing the violence and questionable consent situations. I look forward to reading more. Cheers!

You are really good at writing, I swear if you ever sell a novel I will be one of the first people to buy it! Little errors here and there, but nothing major. Please keep up the amazing work!

This fiction is the best I have ever read. You're a pure genius! I couldn't take my eyes off of this fic for even a second. I spent days and nights reading it. I even made an account so I could comment. Very well done. What you had written explained a lot of things to me, weather they really happened in the plot or not. Your soup explanation made me go "Wow, that's probably really what happened". Thank you so much for writing this! It explained a ton to me and I now have a better understanding for this incredible game.

Aw, that's it? Maybe if you hadn't brought up the mysterious man who found the car, it wouldn't be so bad, having this unfinished. But you've got me curious about him now.

I do hope you finish this some day.

I admit, I only started reading this out of desperation. Only six fics here, and two of them involve bestiality. And the summary of yours gave me the impression that Fiona would give in quickly and they'd have a happy life together. I kinda skimmed through the author's notes at the beginning, and rolled my eyes when I saw some mention of Riccardo going shopping. But I went and decided to try anyway, figuring that maybe there's be some good stuff before things got too bad.

So, I must admit that this has exceeded all my expectations so far. "Riccardo going shopping" is creepy, his love for her is entirely twisted, and she's frightened and completely disgusted by him. Even better, she doesn't go, "Oh, I'm wet just thinking about him, maybe he's not so bad after all." She's still creeped out by her body's reaction!

And now that he's saved her life, it's set up perfectly so that people can either interpret future feelings toward him as actual love if they want to, or have them be a result of Stockholm Syndrome. Both kinds of readers win.

And I want to read more, but it's almost 4 AM. I just wanted to thank you for the good story thus far.

(Also, I noticed some misspellings. You have a habit of using "brake" instead of "break," which is, unfortunately, one of those misspellings that spellcheckers won't catch, and have to be found manually.)

“...and at that point realized he was retarded.”

I think it was that line that finally made me review this story. I've very much enjoyed it thus far, even if the chapters are a lot longer than I'm used to. xD This is Stockholm Syndrome at its finest, and I congratulate you on not having Fiona pounce all over Riccardo when he saved her life and making her more hesitant about the whole thing instead. Your depiction of even the most ordinary actions is well-executed, and I love the bits of background information you’ve added to the story. And your characterization—even of Hewie!—is very good, as well.

As for the sexy bits (because that is what this site mostly is, after all)... well, there haven’t been very many of them up until now, but what there has been has been very nice, to put it one way. ;) I’m really looking forward to the moment when Riccardo finally “beds” Fiona. (Oh, I just love his old-fashioned language!)

My only gripes about this story are that the grammar needs work, and some of the details seem repetitive or could be moved. Otherwise, I shall continue to read this eagerly!

Wow, I love this story and very interested in what happens next. You're very talented in writing, a few spelling mistakes here and there but none that are distracting enough to keep me from reading. I haven't played the game myself but I've seen videos of it and very intrigued by it. :) The story is old, I know for sure, but I hope one day you still finish it. :)

This was fantastic! I am in love with this. You did such a great job with it and I thank you for it!

Okay, considering the amount of satisfaction I get every time I push Riccardo off the roof, (I mean the bastard shot my dog!) I have to admit I am very intriged by the idea of Riccardo being redeemed and actually finding love with Fiona. I will most definetly be reading this story.
