I was expecting kind of a survivor-horror game where the main character struggles with monsters from other dimensions while solves the puzzles to unlock the path ahead (because it's made by Capcom).
The main character Alyssa is just a teen-age girl who is just... an ordinary girl. I thought this was a perfect choice because the other highly popular survivor-horror games had protagonists who can fight against threats, kill the prime-evil and save the world. So this game would step aside with different kind of protagonist and focus on horror and survival. The first episode met my expectations, it did so well that even managed to scare me a few times. It was like you're playing "Dead by Daylight but with puzzles" (and with a story). The developers even put hiding spots, so you can temporarily hide from the killer until he's gone or use the rings that turns you invisible (temporarily). And I found the animations too good when you think about this is a PS2 game from 2002. But... the whole aspect of survival-horror went to 0 when the game put me in a fight with the killer at the end of the episode.
The fight was out from nowhere dude, Alyssa just got a magical bow in the boss introduction scene and for a second I thought she was going to turn into a fairy like the girls in Winx Club... lol. The boss was waiting while moving his body down and up like he's a character from Street Fighter (and it's actually so funny when you think about the fact that Capcom is the owner of SF too.)
The boss battle was so simple too, when you figure out how to stun and chain him you can easily abuse it. After the fight, whole game repeats the same process. You enter a new location, solve the puzzles while new killer runs after you, after you complete all quests you fight the killer, stun-lock the them and kill them easily.
I played more than %50 percent of the game, I was actually close to complete it but after repeating the same thing for 3-4 times and the game introduced me with the new killer and a new location I was like "okay that's enough"
