I'm honestly too exhausted with this game to give it separate short and long review so I'm just gonna be straight with you on this one, it's boring. At first I was intrigued, there were a few moments where I was able in that good suspension of disbelief mode, and it felt like a good start. Somewhere along the way it felt goofy and got frustrating. The game's mechanics like hiding, polaroid camera photos showing hidden clues, and the mirror world feel really sparse and under-utilized. I think I hid once (and not because I was so good I didn't have to, but because the need never arose), on the last puzzle where I really just shrugged and went "this game's... not worth it" there were no hidden clues to find (with the camera which I used once when it was introduced and that's it), and I think I entered that mirror world once (at one point I saw another mirror but I couldn't use it so, again, I used it when it was introduced). And this comes to the main point, I wasn't compelled by this game to continue. It wasn't fun. It got repetitive, the dying felt unimpactful, the atmosphere felt goofy after a severed head's monologue that went on for a little to long and I answered the 20th cheap voice modulator phone call it just felt uneventful.

I really can't understand why this game has so many positive reviews, maybe there is a subgenre of horror fans that really likes walking simulators I've stumbled on to, but I got this on sale and I can't say it was worth it.
