It's bad. I'll give one example. There's a hallway where you can see a painting of a dog at the end of it. As you walk forward, you can hear a dog barking, and when you get to the end of the hallway, the painting SHIFTS into a painting of a HELLDOG in HELL and the dog stops barking. This is the style of "horror" that Bloober Team sticks with from start to finish, and it's just as lacking as it sounds. The story is legible and fine to piece together, but wholly two-dimensional. Bad dad is bad, alcoholism, total death of family. Not breaking any new ground there, buddy.
It does look pretty, though!
