The game design of this game felt tight to me in the first half of the game. At first I thought that all the puzzles would be overwhelming but once I solved the first one, because of how the keys to the puzzles started to come together naturally, it reminded me a lot of the first resident evil, though the game also taking place in a mansion and the atmosphere being pretty good added to that.

Though its mainly a clock tower like, the game will sometimes take a little bit of inspiration from resident evil and other horror games, though it kinda starts falling apart the moment the twist of one of the antagonists is revealed, which although I won´t spoil exactly what it is, it should be warned that the twist itself taints the game, since it involves transphobia.

After the halfway point, the game goes for a more action like horror compared to the more tense and suspenseful first half, causing a lot of cheap deaths because of maze like new environments, which go against the level design strengths of knowing the mansion surroundings and being able to plan around that, that is sadly mostly gone in the second half.

The writing is there I guess, it gets really convoluted and bad the more the game goes along. I would maybe recommend it if you are out of survival horror games to play.
