the ending of the game was very much inspired by the monster house movie game on ps2. The idea of the house design was to look more human with 2 eyes and a mouth, but I confess that it looked a lot like the monster house in some aspects.
The game has no shadow system or dynamic lighting, some textures are darkened, the flashlight and some lights just make the vertices lighter.
the game also has downgraded audio to quality of that time, vertex inacurracy, textures downgrade and thousands of other functions to emulate the ps1.
it is kind of hard to accept a criticism from someone who didn't even play the game. i make horror games. if other studios focused on another style than horror don't use this aesthetic, i don't think it is the fault of the horror game developer community.
This lighting problem in Westgrove has already been solved. in Jimmys Halloween there is the possibility to escape to the basement, this will take you to an alternative ending.
this is the first time I have heard about this, unfortunately I can't tell you specifically where the problem is, I recommend you download the game again and extract the complete folder and try again
filming through the keyhole is just one more function, there is a puzzle to unlock the door but I believe it was not very intuitive to understand, I will fix it in an update
