Loved the demo! The world building is quite nice and seems to pull inspiration from cryptids and religions/cults, which is my favorite type of horror sub genre. I'm very curious to see how the rest of the story unfolds, especially in the cliffhanger where- (spoiler)
-the monster takes you to the altar to perform some sort of ceremony and ritual. I wanna bet that Ethan is the one behind the gunshots (both during the altar scene and when you resist the monster enough times), but we can't be too sure! Maybe it's Hyde, considering he knows more than both of the leads and warns you in one of the scenes after you ask him about the curse enough times.
