The game itself is very eh. You can tell right off the bat it doesn't take itself very seriously which I feel like is somewhat misguided I would have been way more interested in the game due to the PSX style graphics if it just wasn't completely goofy. You have a manager farting on the phone and all of the classic tropes that you see in horror games and movies, You know when the jump scare is coming and since the game is so funny/wacky It's hard to treat it like an actual horror game or be scared or have any sort of suspense. The comedy itself is very blatantly written by AI and I do think the dialog is also AI. I wouldn't say it's a bad game however it's just so middle of the road in a sea of horror games like this I would skip it and definitely not buy it The five is generous. The story is whatever your basic murder serial killer running around who's not very scary looking and you see him right away so you know exactly what to be afraid of. The game really leaves nothing to the imagination and it's just very blatant with its scares and it's comedy, Neither of which are really good or actually captivating. For some reason the main characters are dressed like Batman and Robin Like I get the joke but why? It's like they were going for a "scary movie" type game but it falls flat. Also no controller support so it definitely loses some points for that as well. It really is a shame because I would have been completely engrossed by it if it had a little bit more horror and less goofy comedy that isn't funny
