Although at first i was a bit sceptical with this game at first i didn't really like it but actually it grew on me somewhat the visuals are really good and wish ray traceing and dlss being supported its vary good looking and smooth occasionally I did get crashes but the developer already knows and it working on fixing these and any other glitches that have happened in the past it is regularly kept up to date with improvements and is vary nice to see a game getting supported like this as for gameplay it's decent but can get a little tedious at times sometimes you will spend a lot of time backtracking and not knowing where to pick stuff up and i had to refer to a guide at some points as for the horror it's not particularly scary just depends where you are someparts can catch you off guard and can give you a jump but its occasional atmosphere really sells it and plus there is crafting and a type of combat but not vary intense and if you don't like riddles or puzzles, you can set it to easy separate to gameplay difficulty, which is quite nice to have that choice and the story is a bit hard to get at first i don't fully get it myself honestly but you play as multiple characters that cross paths and its all connected in some way or another it can be boring because sometimes your goal isn't clear and there is no real telling what it is your meant to be doing and a hell of a lot of walking again referring to a guide was my option as i got really stuck at parts though the exploration in areas is pretty cool when you get to find hidden stuff and get vp the in game points to unlock outfits and you get a option after finishing the game that tells you how to get other endings so it has got replay value overall its good for what it is not amazing but not bad its decent in its own way if you can enjoy slower type games without getting bored to easily and can appreciate what it is again its not a vary intense horror experience so bare in mind its more story telling and exploring and occasionally fighting enemies or bosses depending on your difficulty level i would recommend if you enjoy this type of game
