I wanted to love this so badly.

A love letter to PS1 era survival horror sounded fantastic and could've been a big fave but the execution as seen here was severely lacking. The laser focus on having tank controls (which feel worse than any survival horror game I've ever played because you can't even run?) and graphics of the time seems to have come at the cost of appealing art design, music, atmosphere, or story. It all ended up feeling a bit reductionist in its approach.

I definitely want to see more along these lines as I think there's room for something special, even if this wasn't the one to do it.
