Absolutely absorbed by the art and design of this game. Everything felt very much cohesive and like it belonged together. I think the idea was really interesting, even if I still don't think I ever quite managed to understand the logic behind the ghosts. Sound is great, very atmospheric; made me want to go and explore this place on my own (maybe not at night with the knife wielding specters around!) I also found the interaction of just rushing into the ghosts and shoving them away from you pretty funny. A rather assertive way of dealing with monsters. It also seemed to lead to me discovering a pretty solid strategy of just continually pushing them away from me which would keep filling up my footage. They'd move around sometimes but I would just recenter myself and keep going. Managed to get 14 hours of footage!

Gonna echo pretty much everything Chawls said here, Insane visuals and chilling yet oddly calming music. The first time I bumped into a cult member and saw their eyes in the corner of my vision gave me a genuine sort of scare. I understood my goal pretty much instantly, but I had a hard time figuring out the controls. Once I got it, I ended up having a blast. Great work!
