The jumpscares in this might be the best of any horror game I've played, although they were a mixed bag. A sliding scale of "boring" to "I had to pause and hold my chest for a moment". Some were even annoying, namely the grandma cutscene that is way too long and doesn't let you do anything while it happens.

Outside of the scares, the gameplay can get extremely repetitive. The placement of the tools shifting is more irritating than innovative, and aside from a rare few times, the demons are easy to spot. Definitely a game to be played in moderation.

The lore is interesting – especially the stuff that gets revealed in the 6th ending – but I'm personally not a fan of the non-linear story. It's a little confusing, and in terms of the during-shift cutscenes, also adds to the repetitiveness.

All in all, fun, but I probably won't return to it unless they add more endings or I get the urge to embalm some bodies.

Shifts Completed: 12
Times Possessed: 4 (3 were for endings okay trust)
Demons Banished: 10
Bodies Embalmed: 36
