"It was pretty good and at points the traumatic atmosphere really got me... but the one big problem I have with this game is that at so many points I had no idea I had to pick an item up.

For example with the little mobile toys in chapter 2. The star in the tea mug. I oversaw it completely. I think it would be a nice addition if you'd make key items stand out in someway from other items. Just make them blink or lighten them a bit more. Outlast for example did that pretty good.

But any things considered this game has potential. 5/10"

This was my review before the game was released. And with the Rakan Chapter I was so happy that it's gonna be good. (Of course it sucked that I had to play the other two Chapters all over again, but whatever)
All things considered I really liked the Rakan Chapter. It was easy to find out where to go and what to do, even though I struggled and some points but I always found the solution.

And then the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ VHS tapes. They started out pretty fine. But some solutions to riddles were just ludicrous or to be specific just unsatisfying. As a few examples, the random room plank in the mirror room that you can remove. You'd think the VHS hinted what I need to do there, but no. A guy on YouTube showed, who was equally annoyed by this. Or the toolbox that you need to move to find an important key item to progress. A random... toolbox... and nothing hinting that it's important. It's just standing there till you move it.

I don't know maybe there are people who like that, but I don't. To me it felt like this game expected me to just walk around click on everything in order to do stuff. But that's just not my style and was very annoying and got frustrating really quick. I really liked the story though, but if the game out of the blue expects me to do something without hinting towards it.... is just frustrating. Example here is in that Lab Area where I need to throw a chair in a window to get into the next room. Like... Of course I can do that now.

The scenes that were meant to be funny (Dancing Techno Ghost, Shotgun Sequence) didn't do it for me. Maybe some people find it funny, it just ruined the atmosphere for me.

I want to like this game, I really do, but all these little things, including the ones from my old review are still present, and are just annoying. I really hope other people have more fun with that game than me, because it's not bad, it's just sad and wasted potential.
