I was unsure if I should buy this game since it has mixed reviews but I've decided to give it a shot and I'm going to tell you I don't regret it. Some reviews said something about bugs but I've encountered zero of them. The only thing that was "bugged" were subtitles, they just show one word through whole cutscene, but didn't mind it, since you can understand everything if you know basic english.
Sometimes it was hard to follow up what to do (especially if you are as silly as me) but at the end I've finished the game and I can recommend trying it for yourselves. Mechanics weren't THAT bad. I didn't like aiming with flare gun, but I got used to it, and other than that no problem with combat, moving etc.

Try it for yourself, it's a good game.

Very good game, was hooked from beginning to end, I love metroidvanias and puzzle games so this was 10/10 for me.

First, the ambiance and artstyle are amazing, the lovecraftian aspect fits so well with the style. Each location is so well crafted it feels like a painting honestly.

The story is interesting, I really wanted to progress in the game to understand what happened and close the case.

The combat is good, there are several abilities that you can unlock that make combat fun. The platforming part isn't that great because you only get jump, better jump and even better jump but the rest of the game was enjoyable so I didn't really miss it.

Lastly the puzzles : they are cool and interesting, I won't lie sometimes I was confused but most of the time it was because I didn't look around enough, all the clues you need are in the game.

Biggest + for me : absolutely no part of this game felt frustrating or like a chore.

Thanks devs for this game, it's very good.

This is a reluctant recommendation. The games art style and theme are done well, the puzzles are good too. They are a little obscure but that is OK for me. Feeling lost is OK as long as you have a way to tell where you didn't explore yet, which this game has a way to convey, thankfully. Where this game truly fails is performance and combat. What is all this stuttering? and who thought this combat system was good? for normal enemies, it is serviceable, but for bosses? luckily there aren't many bosses though.
