Just finished playing through Chapter 1 in 6 hours. It was a really enjoyable game! I think I missed some secrets like how to save a certain character on this playthrough, so I'll have to go back and investigate some more.

The freedom to explore and discover secrets is very nice, and the great effort by the devs to add as many little details as possible to this world they've crafted, makes it really special. The scary yet cozy setting is very well balanced, and really shakes you up when things actually get scary! Love it! I look forward to seeing how my decisions cascade in Chapter 2.

The brief aside to explore Ms. Knives storyline was quite the jump, but worked as I was hooked to the game by that point. Loved trying to solve the puzzle, though some slight difficulty on using certain items on the right location, like having to use the knife on the pot rather than atop the ladder.
