I consider the game less scary, and more tense. But that is less the games fault and more so becuase digital monsters are only digital threats. I have three problems with this game, and for the most part the are minor. It's a mostly solving a puzzle or avoiding an enemy to progress. This is fine. In some parts of the game the way you are meant to progress is very confusing. I don't really think the character you play as (a child) would be able to figure out how to beat this, but this is a minor complaint. youtube and wiki fandom have lots of tutorials. when you first start the game it says to adjust an eye until you can barely see it. do NOT do that, put it a little bit above that. I could hardly see my first playthrough and still haven't found how to change the brightness of the game after starting a run. my final and biggest complaint is the controls. just walking in a safe area is fine, but often the game won't properly register me pressing buttons and I will die because of this. It's even worse with the flashlight, you have to hold the light on an enemy and sneak past. but the flashlight tracking will often change, with or without an enemy. you might think this is just a skill issue, but I assure you, it is not. the graphics and puzzles are very fun and I love the game! I really do recomend buying it. the story is a bit difficult to understand just by playing the game, but not everyone wants to play for the story. It really is a wonderful game with lots of love and care put into it. the only problem that actually gets in the way of playing is the absolutely atrocious flashlight controlls. the jumping and grabbing is a little rough, but after the first game you get the hang of it. the game really is lovely, its only true vice is the litteraly hellish flashlight controlls.
