The only puzzles present are so stupidly simple and rare. And that’s only a reward for wading through 20 minutes of dry, historical dialogue. So yeah, it’s nothing like the devs first horror detective game.
Do not buy the idea that it’s anything like Excavation of Hobs Burrow, which was an incredible folk horror point and click with a perfect balance of puzzles and narrative. This is borderline a scam to label it anything other than a visual novel.
