Maybe it's because I"m coming off of Omori, a really narratively complex and starkly interesting game, but this feels a lot less genuine. At times it can feel like "torture porn." My reasoning behind this is that a lot of plot points are just left in the air, never to be addressed. There's a lot of plot holes like Yado's plan or the flash that are just used as vague setpieces or fake motivation. It feels like there's a lot of context just ripped out of this game and constant toying with all these sadistic and horrifying things but never really following through on them. It tells a decent story but it doesn't really say or do anything very profound.
