I had this game wishlisted before it came out because EVERYTHING sounded directly up my alley. Retro PSX aesthetics, Lovecraftian horror, escape room murder puzzles, everything I could want.
I liked it a lot! I'm such a sucker for PSX aesthetics. The puzzles were clever, if nothing groundbreaking. The story is pretty good, but it has so much going on that I wanted a little bit more from every thread it gave me, but I wasn't UNsatisfied. The true ending made me sad tbh.
Honestly, it reminded me a lot of Homebody (retro aesthetic, murder puzzle house partially inspired by Resident Evil, flesh walls, etc), and while this game is certainly more consistent with its quality, it didn't have those sparks of brilliance that Homebody did that keeps that game sticking with me. However, these games are still their own things, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it!
