What a shame
Forget about the note, I didn't finish the game, I just stopped playing around 40% ... Why ? Well the first act was great - not perfect, but great. The ambient is balanced and pretty subtle, plus the audio makes this living nightmare really stressful, and all of that worked enough to make me forget the poorly made research sequences (the UI is minimal, which is good for immersion but makes enigmas and target finding not intuitive at all) that make you roam randomly or die three or four times in the same scripted scene just because I don't understand what I'm meant to do. The death mechanic is not mastered at all, and it's a big mistake - but I was still able not to car about it... ... and then come the second act. Where the atmosphere is even more terrific... until I realize that it focuses on what was sh**y in the first act. Poor enigmas, m**sed up QTE that you'll see coming... 2 hours of game and I die for stupid reasons, and I'm not scared at all at any moment now. Again : the game over mechanic isn't mastered at all, and it's an unforgivable mistake in an horror game.
