impressive environmental design but almost everything else was shockingly bad. i know this was meant to be a spiritual successor to the Clock Tower series, at one point even beginning as a remake but it sure as hell didn't do a good job at that. it served The Struggle Within, if anything at all.

bland stalker designs and behaviors, constant QTEs, brain wormed checkpoint/save placements, mangled audio design (why was everything constantly so fucking LOUD), transphobic plot lines that might as well have been ripped from something 40 years ago. just a waltz through what not to do design wise for horror games imo.

gonna give Broken Porcelain a chance but only because i already have access (pretty sure i got it along with this one when they were on sale dirt cheap once) and the slightest chance of it offering an improvement. not expecting much though.
