The Plot twist was good but marred by pointless Quick Time Event game play and the pace is super slow...
I fell asleep midway through and I am someone who enjoys playing FMVs...

TLDR- Not recommended. Bad QTE controls, too slow paced and is not very scary/creepy for a "Psychological Horror". Felt like I've wasted my time. Plot twist is the only redeeming quality of this game imo.

Notes (No spoiler):

- Not much (If any) choice-based options except for the ending, which lets you choose 1 of the options. There are other specific parts which seem like it could affect ending but I refuse to go back and test it out because its just so boring...

- QTEs are just bad... Why the constant clicking?
- Snail paced game play with no option to click and skip seen clips
- Main Character is just so whimpy and unlikable...
- Not much horror in a "Psychological Horror" genre imo.

I'd give it a 2.5 / 10 horror score. My heart just didn't race throughout the whole game except for a few scenes. There is just little to no reason to be scared.

------------
I don't know if it was intentional to make the MC the way he is due to the sheltered life but you'll know what I mean if you actually play this game.

Then you get to a specific part which involves a ladder and witness something... It's just dumb...

The set is pretty good with the lighting and soundtrack being okay too but the direction for the video, imo, is too unnecessarily slow.
It's like the game is trying to create tension with anticipation but ended up losing the tension somehow for holding it for too long and you slowly realize that there is nothing to be afraid of-

Or you just got bored and actually want something to happen now.

Casts did great, though, the MC is unfortunately very unlikable imo. Not the actors fault because I think that is the director's vision of the character.

In the end, sadly, this is not a FMV that I would recommend.

If it wasn't for the interesting plot twist, I would have felt like I have truly wasted my time.
