It's genuinely impressive how bad the platforming feels, like perfectly engineered to feel totally wrong. The jump arc looks off, the momentum feels weightless, the animation is stiff, it all congeals into something that sucks so bad to do it makes the Dark Souls O-button throttling jump seem great.

You don't play this for the gameplay though, this is about atmosphere and art direction, which are masterful. Genuinely brilliant. Plus an incredible Chris Vrenna OST with vocals by Jessicka of JOJ, this is a goth teenager's dream game, and as someone who listened to a lot of Sisters of Mercy in high school I would know.
