Doesn't feel as distinct as the original game. It feels more neutered, more casual, more fangless. It doesn't have the same terrifying edge of the first game. It feels like a lot of other RPG maker games, albeit, with a more ambitious scope. The enemies aren't as creatively designed, the atmosphere is nowhere close to the original, the narrative feels really messy, the characters are more typical, the lore isn't as interesting, etc.

If the first game was reminiscent of Silent Hill, this one is more like Resident Evil. It's disappointingly more typical of RPG Maker games, and lacks the originality and soul of the first game. This game feels like it was made to appeal to a wider audience and obviously it worked.

More like Anxious & Peckish.

The more I think about this game, the less I like it.
