there is a lot of fundamental flaw / bug. 1. the puzzle where you need to find 4 numbers to progress, there is two 7 B clue, 9 C was easy to find, but 3 D was too hard to notice due to the lighter's light reflection and the A clue was not even in the game, the developer made a mistake and placed two 7 B clues. 2. the translation was so bad that it was misleading at the part where it says to put in fuses when you mouse over the coffin, but it was actually body parts you need to put in. 3. the generator's turn on button was kind of overlapping with the refuel generator button that it was hard to notice the turn on button 4. the whole game had no guide so the first pressure plate puzzle was confusing, the pressure plate asset also broke the immersion a lot 5. the VHS filter looks was too much, the whole game was hard to see and a bit of a pain in the eye 6. the story is very irrelevant to the puzzle clues, its like playing a crappy puzzle game that copied "april 24th" and just reading a weird horror story along the way

Spoiler WARNING: Starting the game in the basement was a great choice. It immediately set a tense atmosphere with the darkness and the unsettling sound of a baby crying. The Zippo lighter, with its inconsistent flame, was a nice touch that added to the feeling of unease. However, the baby creature that was revealed later felt a bit underwhelming, as it’s a character commonly seen in many horror games. It would be great to see more originality in the design or concept of the creature to make it stand out more. While I appreciate the use of mannequins as a tool for jump scares, they’ve become quite overused in the horror genre. It might be worth considering exploring alternative ways to create tension or fear without relying so heavily on them. The puzzles, especially the first one, were a bit unclear in terms of how they fit into the overall story. There were many moments where tasks felt disconnected from the narrative, and it was hard to understand their relevance. In future updates, it would be helpful if puzzles were more integrated into the story, giving players a sense of purpose beyond just progressing through the game. Speaking of the story, it felt somewhat disjointed. …

Game is ridiculously short. Options to jump, run, and equip 3-5 do not exist. Though it is creepy at some parts, but overall not worth the $4.
