A significant improvement over episode 1. The setting is way more unnerving and realized this time. Being home alone and hunted is terrifying on its own, but this game does a better highlighting and utilizing its setting. You really feel alone and trapped in the world. And in the first episode you could contact your family. Here you are truly isolated.
I find this game to actually have good scares. But it isn't perfect either. The ending is pretty unceremonious. It's also just a tad too slow. I prefer when most media is slow to build up to the suspenseful parts, but I think this game kinda drags its feet a bit too long. The tone was already set up well by that point.
Still, a really solid outing from this Dev. Huge improvement in production and pacing and story telling. And the best part? This energy carries over into the next episode.
