It takes great influence from Kentaro Miura's Berserk,
while changing a lot of the formula up so that it can form its own proper identity, which is a difficult feat to accomplish with such a complex genre. It does have its bullsh-t moments but I think that's entirely part of the period and writing style of the story.

The game makes great use of sound design and stills to push the idea of horror further without using jumpscares. It is horror, done correct.

The Easy and Normal mode are enjoyable but Hard Mode plays like a speedrun with the way your resources diminish, if that's for you, great, but I'll stick with Easy and Normal. If you do play Hard, I recommend getting a quick-save mod.
