(Disclaimer/Spoiler)
So basically, because of the trauma, Ethan, the main character, was feeling guilty. He was driving the car that caused the accident (killing Ava and Sophie) and he blames himself for it.
His guilt is the enemy, that statue, and, like doctor who, you need to look at the statue to stop the attack, if you don't, you lose.
This was our first time doing an horror game, so any tips or feedback are really appreciated.
