The game was actually more fun than I expected: A lot more action-oriented than horror, which I - as a scaredy cat - appreciated! But, man... I HATED the gun mechanics!!!
I loved the fact that there we were playing on 2 layers: Overworld & Tunnels. The size of the world felt perfect: it wasn't too big & it wasn't too small. We could still give enemies the runaround if we wanted to & there were alternate paths in the tunnels if we wanted to avoid enemies!
Speaking of: I really liked the Fast Travel system & having to go through the tunnels in order to unlock previously inaccessible areas. I thought that was so satisfying to do! However, I do wish there was more loot/more satisfying treasures to find (like in the mansion, which is completely inaccessible before the tunnels). I also found myself a bit disappointed because despite how foreboding the darkness of the tunnel system is, I thought there'd be MORE or BIGGER encounters down there. I know Lilith is the big bad (and she ended up killing me lol) but, the Overworld was more tedious to walk through than Underground was.
The only other things I hope get fixed are maybe...
- Added UI elements to inform us of Sprint Usage or Ammo Count
- Control QoL: Really wished hitting the Escape Button would leave menus & that we weren't required to get to the end of notes before being able to Tab out of menus.
Overall, really straightforward game & experience! This definitely feels like a complete game & I hope it becomes available on Steam soon to wishlist & support!
