I have played Matilda 2.. and personally, first 10 minutes was just dialogue, and not much gameplay until it got to finding the doll pieces.. 1st Matilda didn't seem to faff around and got into the action, personally. Maybe if you do a chapter 3, maybe a different game rather than the same stuff.. and also it felt impossible to hide from the monster as she always seemed to catch me haha. I also HOPE we didn't have some hallucination, as it came back to the picnic bit.. I hope there is some context.. But I look forward to see chapter 3, and see if it has any changes. Overall, I did have fun, and I did get spooked, I also liked that it followed through after the 1st chapter.
Here is my video!
