Man I was really rooting for this one. It's goofy and not scary (part of that on purpose i think) but was still funny but there's three issues, one is not a big deal in the grand scheme, one kinda is and makes it tedious, and the last is just flatout critical to get right and it doesnt. 1 - its really heavily scripted ona rbtrary triggers at times. youll be looking everywhere for an item when you realize that the item only spawns in map where it wasnt before if you say for example try a door you have tried over and over before and know its locked. but hey this ONE time, it says its locked AND gives you one more line of text showing the thing will appearn now, eesh 2 - the enemy makes zero noise so i didnt even realize it was chasing and caught me when it did, so i go to retry and... i start all the way at the beginning? dude... come on 3 - i started over and am trying to go fast to get where i was, at one point you activate a printer and a creepy note flies out that YOU NEED TO READ in order for the entire game to progress. it fell through the floor. i was soft locked. i didnt feel like starting over again (for the unskippable intro as well btw) so i stopped. even at free, its …
