Pretty cool game.
It was nice to explore the place beneath the mine and learning its lore.
I especially liked how distinct the monsters were from each other.
Some of the chases were great, and I liked how these had their own gimmick.
I was also really surprised to see a familiar face, as someone who watched a playthrough of A House of Alesa 3 one year ago.
It was awesome to discover that she was from this game.
I also had a lot of fun with the puzzles.
!!!SPOILERS!!!
The only things that I found a bit disappointing were the chase sequences involving Helga and the Mimic.
The former was very slow in comparison to me, and the large maps of Floor 0 gave me some advantages over them (I played on the normal difficulty).
In retrospect, I think that the large maps in general weren't that bad outside of that.
I had to do some backtracking, but not that much.
Having the key items before reaching the places where I had to use them made my experience definitely better, though.
