5.2 I played this after the full game of "Don't be Afraid" to see if it was just like the first level or so, It is but it isn't. I'm assuming it's an earlier build of the first and second level with some differences. This one does lean into a little more of a 'jumpscare' nature with a lot of the spooks being turning around and having a mannequin suddenly in your face. That isn't bad per se but it is interesting that the main game doesn't really feature that to this extend, some mannequins and such move when you aren't looking sure, but this has them directly behind and close etc. The puzzles ARE a little different on the whole, similar but different. So even after playing the main game roughly 4 times which was still at least a somewhat fresh experience. Kind of just 'more of the game' I guess. It does feature a different MC which is also part of the narrative in the main game too, so also nice of it to add a little bit of context there. A noticeable difference being the voice acting, I don't really think that the original Franklin is bad by any means but the main game's VA brought a whole lot of character to the character which changes it quite drastically, both positive …
