It is not a good horror game (despite some scary moments) but it is a really immersive and atmospheric detective game and that is exactly what I wanted. The game gives you some interesting options/ choices to play with and rewards exploration. While the character animations are really not that good, the mostly great voice acting makes up for it. Especially in the first few hours, the atmosphere is really great.

I just wish the game was a bit less linear and more challenging. Also, the story feels kind of rushed towards the end and could have been longer.

It is a good game, almost great, with some issues and unfortunate marketing 🤷
