Somewhat of a hidden gem, combining the atmosphere of games like Clock Tower, Silent Hill, and Haunting Ground, into a roguelite, souls game. It is somewhat flawed, and needs some difficulty tweaks and rebalancing, some of the bosses are outright unfair, and magic builds are incredibly overpowered, while melee is weak and underpowered. Has some genuinely great ideas, would like to see the developers polish and expand on.
I started liking it, it was really fun and all, but it was really hard and challenging, i dont mind hard games, but this one made it less enjoyable, it became really annoying to the point that i had to quit near the end, its not a bad game, the horrible graphics and animations, and the music that also becames annoying, those things makes the game look poor but its not that bad, it could be better...
my first impression is really good! i didn't know much about it at all, other than the teasers i've seen .. saw that there was a costume or something that looked like rule of rose! i sunk 5 hours into it when i was planning only 2. there's a lot of references to other horror games/movies/media & it's such a treat!
i suggest going in completely unaware as well. some of the puzzles are very obtuse & there are some glitches.. i accidentally skipped an entire boss by moving during the cutscene so now i have a quest stuck, lol. but the world building is really neat & the gameplay loop is nice. there's a savepoint before big bosses .. i actually stopped playing because i accidentally forgot to get the savepoint & lost my stuff.. but! it's still pretty neat & i'm excited to get further!
