The vibes of this game were right up my alley. What struck me as the most fantastical was atually the cutscenes. The crunchiness of the rendering and choppiness madeit feel so nostalgic. The representation of mental illness and the symbolism interwoven had a huge impact on me, and I ended up getting very invested in the game, which was aweomse.
The game is really not that scary, which I think kinda comes back a lot to the sound design of the killer. The puzzles range from a little bit of fun and feeling clever to "Ok whatever just look it up" quality. By the other half of the game I was following a walkthorugh. The structure of this made the pacing struggle a bit, and was the point of the game not getting five stars.
Big recommend if you like David Lynch movies and Stephen King novels.
How to make puzzles worse than they usually are, just add in a deranged killer who can kill you while you're in the middle of a puzzle, fun times!
Also have to beat a shitty mini game just to solve one of the puzzles, can't even search it up because it's randomly generated.
