i was very very much enjoying this for the first 7 or 8 hours but i slowly started to realize that all of the RPG elements are kind of just there for show. as much as i wanted to defend this, others are right - the combat is so easy that it makes the rest of the game a little boring. i was loving exploring the world until i realized the best rewards for exploration here are little lore dumps and new npcs to talk to - the gameplay centric rewards don't mean much to me when i kill every enemy in 3 stunlocked hits. idk. definitely will come back to this, but playing through it was just making me want to play king's field 4 really bad, so im gonna do that instead now

i think "horror immersive sim where there's one true enemy thats essentially unscripted and you have to solve puzzles while evading it" is one of my favorite genres for sure.
unfortunately i encountered a bug that's making it so i can't access the "true ending" or whatever. might have to restart the game which really sucks

kinda cool and very relaxing experience. the shadow men were a bit too on the nose for me, same issue i have with most liminal space/backrooms adjacent projects - the horror is in the space not in the creepy shadow man watching you.
the best moment of the game by far was in the hotel - the completely silent dining room/ballroom was genuinely a little scary to walk through, and then when you return back through it all the chairs are arranged differently. wish there were more moments like this throughout
