Pretty silly nowadays, I think I wanted to play it mostly because I remember the weird online gravity that it had with horror lets players a decade ago on youtube. And it was really weird to me how wide the franchise grew, with novels and mobile ports and anime and weird live action movies.

Its got some fun ideas but the execution is amateurish, which is warranted given it came out 14 years ago. If you dont have nostalgia for it honestly skip playing and just watch a playthrough online. A proper remake one day would be cool!
