Since there seems to be a lot of interest here, I'll ask my question:

' Just what is this story about? '

I played through the entire game with a walkthrough two years ago, revisited
it a few times, but still I don't understand the point.Is the primary
monster a computer creature (i.e. some kind of intelligent, malevolent
computer virus or a demon that has assumed a technological form? Was the stone
some kind of talisman to ward off evil or actually the egg of another 
(more powerful) demon? And is the mad professor the actual cause of all the
trouble at G.U.E. tech to begin with? 

I understand that the game is a bit vague on all these issues and the 
questions may be unanswerable, creating a different world for each player.
I would appreciate any views and interpretations, however, and anxiously
await them. Thanks for your time.

                                                     Sincerely,
                                                     Norman Chan
