Well, what a trip.
The idea of being the camera in a video game while the protagonists are guided by small point and click touches is curious in a 3d environment.
Normally video games capitalize on horror quite poorly, pigeonholed into tropes and structures to stick to forms of action or helplessness, it is okay for Michigan to stay in between and satisfy itself with comedy and fetishize reporters, guarding them from dangers and intervening to turn them into heroines. If you want.
If not, you can always sexualize them and record morbid events to become the villain of the story.
But it's a hell of a mess, because its experimental nature stays in the concept and the rest is filled with nonsense. You hardly do anything but walk guided by a sort of comic Slasher where the characters are dying one by one.
Also, the original director dissociated himself from the project because he was horny and perverted,
Great.
