Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The stylized, cartoon-inspired visuals remain intact, but their exaggerated proportions and strange layouts feel more personal and threatening when you are physically present within them, giving the game a stronger horror-adjacent atmosphere than many of its flat-screen predecessors.

The game excels at these moments, using sound design, spatial awareness, and player-controlled movement to generate suspense without relying heavily on jump scares.
