So far I really like the art and how it really takes inspiration from "90s/PS1" era graphics but actually expands upon it and make it it's own style. The gameplay for the most part is pretty typical for survival horrors, and the perspective changes from top down to first person view is refreshing since the game can showcase different styles of art. Ammo can be scarce as well as inventory space, which makes you have to really think about if you should grab an item or not. While this is effective sometimes, if a save room is super far away it can just feel tedious since you have to backtrack all the way just to put an item away then go all the way back to get a single item. This is especially annoying since defense items still take up storage space even if they are equiped. Luckily there is a setting to have extended space if that bothers you. Movement is pretty smooth when you don't have a weapon equiped, but with a gun it feels a little clunky to turn and move around. This is probably on purpose, but the aiming system on control feels especially clunky and sometimes controller aiming it doesn't lock on or hit enemies when you're aiming directly at them which is frustrating. There are times in the game where an enemy is completely shrouded in darkness, which is fine because you can use the lock on aiming to find them. You move and look around purely with the left stick, then when you're in "aim mode" you move with the left stick and aim with the right. I wish it was always this way so you could aim your flashlight at enemies while moving away. But other than that I really enjoyed the music and sound design which are reminiscient of silent hill, and it has an intriguing story full of environmental storytelling to slowly build the world.
