This was an interesting horror game that caught my attention due to the VHS-analog style. The entire game experience was quite surreal and saddening where the storyline really pushed the entire game forward. Although the game experience for me wasn't as great since the words were cut off during my playthrough (Likely due to screen resolution mismatch etc.), I understood the entire story and how much the main character had went through in an abusive home along with his love and desire to protect his sister.
Just curious whether the initial part within the elevator was about the amount of hatred that the main character had for his father or was it more of directing it to himself for becoming the monster that he did not want to become. Additionally, the ending was definitely saddening and depressing at the same time for the main character but it shows that he had let go of everything before making such a tragic decision.
Regarding what I felt about game mechanics and experience itself, I think it would be good to be able to reduce the amount of distortion as I couldn't see much from my perspective and that probably contributed a lot to the reason why I ventured in the forest for long periods of time. Other than that, it would be good if the mental and emotional turmoil of the main character was better and more thoroughly portrayed during the entire experience. Nevertheless, the part where I get to catch a glimpse of the main character's home experience was definitely a shocking and horrifying one which was great to have in the game.
