Silent Hill meets Killer 7 through a super gay bubblegum pop lens with PS1-era graphics and insane boss music.

I purchased this game off vibes alone. And yowzaaa, the vibes did not lead me astray. This game is a certified banger, dredging up every ounce of my 2000s nostalgia and injecting it with modern flair.
PROS - strong character driven story telling that provides the player with choices that feel consequential. BADASS boss music. Flashy character art-styles that pop from darker, industrial backdrops. Certified terrifying GamerTM moments due to a combination of third-person fixed-camera view, first-person arcade-style combat, and third eye mechanics that change your surroundings. The puzzles are also solid for this reason.
CONS (but not really) - At first, I found the back-and-forth between fixed-camera and stationary first-person combat janky. Five hours in, my opinion hasn't changed. The difference is I wouldn't change anything about the mechanics now. I've enjoyed learning to master it. How much tension it creates when I'm swarmed by three or more enemies at once. Some serious 'oh, s***' moments.
OVERALL - The story and characters are the main attraction here IMO, with strong themes exploring love, toxic relationships, and more. Both on the macro and micro level. Between every delve back into abandoned facilities infested with demons, I found myself retracing my steps in the main HUB just to make sure I didn't miss any interactions. I've also save scummed more than I care to admit. All in an attempt to get Michelle the ending she deserves. For games like this, that's how I know I'm hooked.
Lastly, you might have noticed I didn't mention anything about this game being unabashedly LGBTQ+. While this game is most def for the gays, it's also for my straight-white-male-cisgender ass. Sorry We're Closed is for the gamers.

This game RULES. Probably my favorite game of... the entire last year? I'd say this year, but it's only February.
A bit Silent Hill, a bit Resident Evil, a bit Killer 7, a bit Persona. But completely original, unique and refreshing. The art (both 2D and 3D) is INCREDIBLE and definitely the highlight for me. Did I follow C. Bedford on Insta? Yes, more please. Great sound design and the soundtrack goes HARD. The pacing is perfect. You do a bit of dungeon crawling (dungeons are well-designed and bite-size, which is nice), you fight a cool boss, you return to your neighborhood to chitty chat with the residents, rinse repeat. The cast is strange and interesting and I love all of them. The writing is great for the story AND the dialogue. Only complaint is that the combat is a little rough (having to enter first-person mode makes things tricky, on top of both tank controls and fixed camera angles), but it's not a big deal. I just read there's an aim assist accessibility feature, so check that out, maybe. I would've used it if I'd known.
Also, if the game is going to insist that I resist The Duchess's advances because blah blah blah demons and unhealthy power dynamics and no autonomy blah blah blah, then why did they make The Duchess so hot??? Catch me rotting in Hell with this radiant diva (◡‿◡✿)

I heard good things about this before playing, but this still was a very pleasant surprise and is highly recommended for fans of old school survival horror, Twin Peaks, Deadly Premonition, Paradise Killer, etc.
I loved this!

No, but seriously, this game is incredible. I hope more people play it and it gets the attention it deserves. I loved this and will be looking at what this team makes in the future, for sure.

Unrealistic. Michelle didn't fold in half immediately upon seeing the Duchess.
I love this game. I love how it looks. I love the story. The combat isn't perfect, but found it way easier with mouse and keyboard. I'm absolutely hooked! You can tell lots of love went into this game.

i've affectionately nicknamed this game "gay silent hill" to my friends. i'm not particularly good at shooters, but it was well worth the effort to complete the story. 100% worth getting this game
