The mere fact that we got a game based on the Omen is pretty wild but when you think about it, the concept fits the medium and it is pretty fun.
There is some weird pleasure in playing the villain, especially when you can be that inconspicuous.
It is basically a Hitman game but you're a sociopathic rich kid.
And it's a lot of fun for a while. The large cast is so fun to terrorize, gaslight and manipulate into killing themselves or eachother. The physics are pretty fun and speeding your way around the house on the tricycle never gets old.

Uncovering the secrets of the house and this old family is also quite fun. You got the classic hidden torture cave under the basement and some pervert uncle with a sex dungeon, abusing the help. The whole thing being swept under the rug by this rich influential family. Gotta love it.

But some weird design choices just bring the experience down a lot. The game is janky sure, but that can be overlooked graphically. What can't be are the oddly obtuse riddles, frustrating stealth section and stupid boss fights if you can call them that.

All in all, still worth it if you like the social stealth of Hitman or if you're a horror fan and just want to watch cool gory cinematics of nailguns punching through skulls and torturing poor NPCs.
