A good art style and interesting use of Resident Evil-like puzzles isn't enough to salvage what's otherwise an well below average metroidvania.
The animations are terrible, the movement is generic, combat is boring, exploration is standard, additional abilities aren't interesting, the story is kind of a mess, the soundtrack is forgettable...
Really, the only reason this isn't flat out the worst I've played is because this game really does make a great use of Lovecraftian aesthetics and I loved the idea of incorporating puzzles in a metroidvania. Because otherwise this game is just... One of the games ever made. It isn't even outright bad, it's just perfectly mediocre.
