For a game that really wants you to be scared/creeped out, I could not stop laughing while playing this game. A certain interaction with a log and a swinging ball had me in tears for at least 1 minute. I don't know man, the idea of "solve this puzzle or die a horrific death", works the first time but by the 3rd time the tension is gone and I'm genuinely locked in trying to solve the puzzle. It's at that point that the "horror" elements no longer work on me, and I'm just playing a puzzle game with bad vibes. The puzzles are good too and can even get tricky at times; I remember having to look up guides to some of them. But honestly at that point I think I'd rather just play a puzzle game where I don't have to watch a small child get brutally murdered, even if I manage to laugh at it.
