Fantastic at making the mundane feel terrifying even before anything even happens, with those constant walks across the car park being especially chilling despite nothing happening. The mere act of existing and feeling so vulnerable as you're just exploring the plaza to pass the time being absolutely chilling is a great move in effectively replicating the general sense of anxiety that one can very easily have when walking anywhere alone at night and ended up making for a great bit of atmosphere. I also loved how many different little distractions were scattered around during this section, whether it was the multiple comics, the minigames, or just discovering more context about the laundromat and a string of mysterious killings, it all felt far more fleshed out than I was expecting for a game so small. While a decent portion of the more conventional horror content somewhat paled in comparison to me, despite still having some very strong vibes, the final confrontation was fantastically tense and made the whole thing worth it to me. Worth a play!
