This is genuinely one of the better throwbacks to the genre I've played in years. I really enjoy how it feels less like a PS1 game and more like a classic DOS/Win 3.1 game like Ecstatica or LittleBigAdventure. It's such a peculiar styling that it genuinely got me more into the atmosphere than if it were just wiggly polygons on wonky vertexes and overloaded dithering.

Control is top notch as well, not a missed note in terms of giving the player enough options to maneuver in combat (and avoid it entirely if you want). Only real thing I have is I'm not huge on the waving of the aim reticle when doing more precise aiming, but that's moreso a me thing if anything.

Really my one big misgiving with recent Survival Horror titles often being too heavy on the Key-Door-Switch puzzles, especially when it feels like it goes against the world the puzzles are in. This one definitely had moments where I had to grab a guide and it kinda sucked me out with some of the longer tasks.

Thankfully the game is short, about 5 and a half hours in a single sitting for what I played and it's still very much well worth your time if you're hankering for a throwback survival horror game that actually makes an attempt to do it well.
