So, that being said… It’s a pretty good game. It’s more of a psychological horror game with puzzles, and I’d say it’s more like a puzzle game first and horror game second. It looks amazing, with great details put into every location. The puzzles are… A bit difficult for me. Some of the puzzles felt pretty logical and straightforward. Others needed you to find a specific note that gave you that additional clue, and some puzzles that were probably well thought out… Well, they were beyond my ability to figure out without additional hints or clues hidden around the area I was stuck in.
