PY file doesnt even open

Patricks rock: well I never would of guessed to look in a trashcan while im chased by a giant killer patrick clone.... I wish I knew props can be searched

Tentacle Acres: Wait there was??? I never saw anything sleeping! I never would of thought to look around before going in! Also a mailbox?! Again I never considered interacting with props...

Mrs. Puff school: I already knew about those hiding spots. It's the timing and the routes she takes. It's all just luck. I was lucky to win the first time.

The game is just so difficult. I dont know if I can do this. So many of the levels get so difficult really quickly...kinda takes the fun out of it and just makes me feel disappointed

(warning to those who want to read this that aren't the dev's. Some spoilers bellow if you havent played or beaten it yet. You have been warned)

It was exciting when it came out but as the game progresses it gets really, really REALLY hard especially when it comes to getting the good noodle stars. It's IMPOSSIBLE! Levels like the industrial park or sandy's treedome is impossible to do without dying. With the mermalairs bugs it's impossible to do without dying once due to the glitches with the boss fight. But im always dying before I can even attempt due to the difficulty of getting around the traps,mermaid man,barnacle boy and jelians. I have no idea how anyone is supposed to do these levels without dying. The game also hits you hard with the difficulty early in the game. I struggled so much with spongebob's pineapple because of doodle patrick. The way he moves makes him unpredictable. You can be walking past one of his spots and can suddenly appear there without warning and kill you. I got the good noodle star on that one from what im gonna say was out of luck. Patricks rock is impossible to do without dying. The cannons are unpredictable and found myself dying to those multiple times. The challenges we are expected to do makes getting the secret ending impossible due to the insane amount of difficulty. I only managed to get good noodle stars on the easier ones. But tentacle acres I cant find a single thing. I cant find the golden spatula and I can't find the goofy goober token. I hate cheating so im not gonna look up where to find them in these levels. The levels I also struggle with to find any items on is mermalair (due to the handful of things chasing and trying to kill you with no way to break the chase),glove world (difficult to look for ALL those things without dying once in the maze it's possible but I can tell you'll just need luck, industrial park (same issue, cant find them and cant search and not die at the same time),struggling with larry's gym, Ms puffs boating school (its impossible to look around without being spotted by the lighthouse and Ms puff is really hard to avoid. I died so many times and only beat it out of luck.)  and so on. If I were to sum up this games difficulty it would be tough cause there's no difficulty over hard or legendary except impossible. Is it beatable? Well yeah but it's REALLY hard on some levels like spongebobs pineapple and sandy's treedome but can you 100%? With the difficulty of these challenges that you're expected to do on their given levels? Impossible. The challenges don't work on the levels they are given. I found doing spongebobs pineapple under three minutes to be difficult for a while. Sandy's treedome is 99.9% impossible to do without dying. It has a 00.1% chance because im sure someone in testing had to of somehow managed to do it. Beating sandy's treedome was difficult on it's own and due to how hard it was I almost gave up on the game but the fact I had to look through the snow, blind AND keeping an eye out for a robot that'll guarantee and immediate game over is hard enough. Apparently during a stream im told where to get the goofy goober token but I can't get it and avoid the robot at the same time, its bad enough it has a digging ability that makes him almost impossible to avoid due to difference in your speed and his.  I've just about given up on trying to complete the game. It's TOO. HARD. I like the game but I just wish the difficulty wasn't so hard. I found myself getting frustrated on almost every level. But at least it delivers in the fear factor. Dave's games almost always delivers and makes them good horror games. But this game complicates things. I love a good horror game but frustrating difficulty ruins the experience. Take Alien isolation for example, it's so hard I found myself getting less scared and more frustrated. Instead of being afraid of the alien I was frustrated with it due to it's unpredictable AI. However with this game while it delivers on the scares there is alot of things with it that makes it as frustrating as it is scary. I almost did goo lagoon if it werent for me getting stuck during the dennis chase. I'm not fond of the without dying challenge. It's fine on some but they shouldn't be on the extremely hard ones at all. Im aware Dave knew how insane the sandy treedome level was so it shouldnt be on that one. The industrial park is literally impossible to do without dying. Planktons attacks are almost unpredictable and I cant dodge everything and shoot at the same time while he's constantly attack. He even has an unavoidable move! Im assuming it's a glitch cause even while ducking he still hits me. I cant do it without dying at least once. I died multiple times on my first playthrough. The golden spatula and other stuff you need to find in tentacle acres should be made easier to find or at least easier to guess where everything is. I played through it again on a livestream and throughout the entire playthrough of the level I havent found a single thing. I looked all over and interacted with stuff in the security office and found absolutely nothing so I gave up on that level.

I just find difficulty to be a mood killer for horror games. If you find yourself getting more frustrated than scared then it ruins it. It stopped me from being scared of alien isolation and I pretty much gave up on that game years ago but started playing it again recently when I got it for xbox one hopeing the faster load time will make things easier. But in this game it's just impossible to do any of the challenges and is so hard it's infuriating. All I did was get angry in every episode and every livestream. Sure I got scared a bit here and there but I was too busy being angry I didn't get scared. I only got scared when I was close to finally winning and I didnt want to die like on spongebobs pineapple. That is scary when you almost beat it and you dont want to die cause you'll start over. The creature you're running from should be scary, not the fact of restarting. I wanted to like this game more but the fact some levels are insanely hard kinda ruin the experience for me. Good ending though, some levels were fun, mainly mr krabs house and the barg N mart but that's about it. I just found every level to be stressful and irritating and less fun. Although goofy goobers was so terrifying I almost ended the playthrough out of fear. 

All and all this game does deliver on the horror but you'll find yourself more angry than terrified.

But the quality,the fun levels I mentioned and ending does redeem it to a degree.

I give it a 4 or 5 out of 10. Be fun, be scary, just don't be frustratingly difficult. Anger can ruin any horror game experience.

I decided to replay due to the last videos lag. It's better but it still lags in the beginning. I dont know why my files do this with this game specifically.  Apparently this game just doesn't agree with OBS

I gotta hand it to you Dave. Horror games dont make me scream the way yours do. Very scary. Very creepy. Also leaves alot of questions to be answered which will probably be answered in your last title of the franchise (looking forward to it) keep up the good work!

This wasn't my first playthrough. I found it hard at first and to be pretty scary but since there are three different entities out to get me I was being chased almost every three seconds. 

This wasn't my first playthrough but I still enjoyed it.

This game is pretty hard and very scary. No way to hide which makes it even harder and Karen being very unpredictable. But it was very well made! Keep it up!
