Done by the same guy who did Dear Esther.
I was kind of disappointed with the execution. The story is interesting but there are so many technical flaws with this that it's difficult to want to continue. This crashed on me 4 times, mostly when quicksaving, so be warned.
Dear Esther's mapping wasn't the best, but it was wide open enough that you could still navigate around. I think Korsakovia's biggest flaw is the mapping. The maps are cramped but in the worst possible spots, if you move too fast the audio will overlap in places, the enemies are annoying and incredibly difficult to take out due to being such small and hard to see targets. The levels are repetitive in some spots (like, they literally copied and pasted the level and just changed a few things), there was quite a bit of ambiguity in where you have to go next in places, etc. There are a lot of small annoying things that add up and really hurt this mod. There have been worse mods, but this one could have been a lot better if the mapping had been better.
The voice acting was top notch for a mod, as was the rest of the audio. The story was genuinely creepy in spots and I think that adding more action to Dear Esther's formula is a really good idea. They just really botched the execution.
