A middling game that struggles to keep up with its predecessor. Firstly if you are the type of person who likes to go back and tweak your playthrough to get it just the way you like you are going to find the game restrictive and frustrating, Everything is locked-in until the end of the game so unless you want to keep restarting you will have to wait. Secondly, the game struggles to make any of the characters stand out during the length of the playtime. Compared to until dawn there is far less to do for each character to do and that means few choices to expand upon who they are. Perhaps it would have faired better if there were fewer characters. For its length, it seems to me that three characters would have had room to grow while five do not. Thirdly I feel like the keep calm needs to be brought up, the mechanic which replaced the superior don't move. For me, it takes the tension out of the game and makes me feel like I am playing Parappa the rapper again. Its a button mash annoyance that really didn't add anything that the don't move function hadn't already achieved. Fourth the story itself. What can be sad about the big reveal other then it was so glaringly obvious that I couldn't get into the horror. I found that since I figured out what the threat was early own that I couldn't get into the horror elements and it wasn't that hard to avoid certain outcomes because I knew the truth of the situation, and all of that could have been avoided by omitting one scene from the opening.
