For a game released in the 2020s this awakens such a feeling of nostalgia for those of us who grew up on low-poly PSX survival horror games.
I made a full playthrough from start to finish on a new channel of mine and it may be my favourite video that I've posted so far.
There's even a really fun unlockable easter egg at the end for those fans! Really enjoyed it and I'll definitely be replaying. You've got a new fan in me Sodaraptor.
Bought the game on Steam, reviewing here because steam forums are cursed. Not completed it yet, but some early thoughts:
The 'unfortunately' on the 'Made With Unity' splashscreen got a laugh. Hoo boy...
Do love the atmosphere so far. The effects and sound all work together well.
Remappable controls would have been a godsend
On a related note, turn sensitivity for the analogue stick in options; I keep accidentally running around in circles playing with an xbox controller. I feel like turning should probably have been on a separate analog stick. Haneko turns slowly, but she starts turning at the lightest input left/right, it feels like; it makes it unexpectedly difficult to move in a straight line.
The way text shows up seems to be using the 'add characters' method rather than 'show characters'; there's a number of free assets for handling this, and it would mean the text isn't constantly shifting about all the time while it's appearing
First-person/behind-cam modes getting overridden when you enter a camera transition is rather frustrating. Similarly, trying to hold y for first person and then look up/down with the right analog stick is... well, it required an uncomfortable amount of dexterity. First-person/behind could have been bound to the unused shoulder triggers and made them a great deal easier to work with.

Had a lot of fun playing this! Loved the art style & definitely grabbing the Steam version soon :-)
I really liked the art style choice for the game. Enjoyed the scares too!

Great video, really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for checking it out!
Any time! I've been saying a lot lately that you're quickly becoming my new favourite dev with this and The Moth Inside Me. Keep up the great work. :)
