I've seen this being described as a game you have to meet halfway, but it ends up requiring a bit more from the player's side. That's to say, it asks for the player to do multiple playthroughs to get the most out of it, but it doesn't hold up its end of the bargain. For one, the story, once pieced together, isn't really that captivating and feels like some jumbled ideas that weren't fleshed out. One of the 'bad' endings was much less underwhelming than the main one. Though its a short game and you can get the hang of it after a couple of runs, the gameplay starts to drag with each playthrough, requiring a lot of back and forth with little variety. The latter half can be more tense, though the difficulty can be almost entirely removed by glitches where enemies disappear. Similar bugs occur, and coupled with low-res textures here and there, the game feels somewhat unfinished. The atmosphere is done well at least and is pretty unsettling.
