This is a really underrated "survival horror game" and this is coming from someone who is not a big fan of the genre, but this game feels like Resident Evil 7 but with a trippy "psychological" twist and I do enjoy RE7 so this is a good thing. It has the puzzle solving, the shooting and the gooey enemies of RE7, the only difference is that there is no item managment but there is enough similarities to warrant me to compare the two.
The game also generally handles "stalker" enemies well and this is a trope I am generally not a big fan of in games unless if it's scripted sequences but the "stalkers" in this game never stick around for so long to the point where they wear out their welcome. That and you get time to look around and solve puzzles.
The story and voice acting is pretty solid too.
My only big gripes is that the combat isn't that great since enemies can get spongey or take a few hits depending on how well you aim for their weak spot and it can get cumbersume considering they run at you constantly and combat revolves around sprinting backwards and hoping you can line up your shots. The Factory level is also kind of boring since I don't like the asthesthic really much and there are a couple of cheap deaths here and there particularly by the stalker enemy of Lucas during the chase scenes.
But overall, if you want a more "psychological" take on what Resident Evil 7 did, then this is a good time.
