Yup, something like that, only you never get shown any sort of meter for how much health you have left (an EKG diagram in the inventory screen doesn't quite cut it), or how much sanity for that matter.
The bug bit ... well, something similar here too. You end up coming out of a pipe and in a pit filled with rotted human remains, a giant bent grate set into the middle and a ladder to one side leading up. There's flies buzzing around, and roaches creeping along, then the scene flashes to the inside of a cell in an insane asylum, scores of roaches crawling over the walls, floor, and ceiling.
If that's not creepy enough, you get your perceptions back to the 'here and now' only to see a dead body drop and partially slip into the grate, and something come up from below, hitting the metal with a loud clang and drawing the body inside via tentacles. By that time you're going OMGOMGShoggothHELP! and running for the ladder, climbing, the screen is blurry, and the first thing you see when you get up is another dead body hanging from a rafter highter up, death's head grin and all.
No real idea on how it scales, depending on the system, as there's no real graphic detail level customization to it. Only thing you can change is the resolution.
Still, yes, a 128 meg graphics card is enough to make the whole experience leapfrog-free, from where I'm sitting. Then again, I'm also running two gigs of ram and a dual core.

Whoa, that sounds like an intense experience and I now have the urge to buy the game. How demanding are the system requirements?
