I played through it, and I tried to enjoy it. It's just that I got kinda tired of these types of games though so I may be particularly biased for what I have to say.

In my opinion, it's unoriginal yet also creative at the same time, it really follows the same basic formula with there being some "ally" who helps you. However if I'm being honest allies like Rambley that are shoved into your face just detract from what the game is, horror. Even on the occasion he stops talking the game isn't that scary and doesn't make you feel like you've been pulled from that safe spot because I still know that they can't touch me regardless.

Unlike in games which are unintentionally scary like Subnautica, it's a lot harder to put a child looking mascot and actually have them be scary and it doesn't help with the fact that they look relatively clean. They don't have any sort of decay or wear and tear that could do wonders to help make them just even a bit more imposing. Another thing is that unlike those games you don't really have anything to lose, you kinda just die and restart over ( basically every horror game ) you are pulled out of that dread or experience. Since it's just so linear with it's chase scenes and encounters I couldn't help but just become immune.

Mollie Macaw, I only died to twice however I read the piece of advice it gave me, however it's not like I had time to think about that considering that it basically is meaningless considering they in question couldn't really use it effectively. I could still treat it.

It's not garbage like everyone says it is as I can see passion is actually put into it
