For those who have yet to play or hear about this, I recommend one blind playthrough before you ever look anything up about this. Great stuff.

This game is a masterclass in horror pacing. The house is a strange beast that changes the more you wander about, eventually giving way to many strange and interesting places one might expect to find in a horror game... but also some surprises as well. This is as good as it gets with this style of "walking simulator" adventure game, but as a completionist experience it leaves a bit to be desired for me.

There are multiple "points of no return" when it comes to locations to visit. For the most part I don't mind this but I've spent hours redoing the first half of this game over and over again trying to get the one artifact at the end of the bathhouse. "Git gud" me all you want but the amount you have to redo after a small slip up like that is a bit ridiculous in my opinion. Not a dealbreaker for the game itself but I am hard pressed to get the "true ending" in this one.
