Played it a bit got to the locked box, tried the combo from the fingers which didn't seem to work. Overall a lovely game the sounds and lighting and limited sight lines are great. That being said it also makes it super hard to solve the puzzles and stuff as I can't see or navigate very well. Also the slow move speed is nice but after a while it got kind of boring. Given that a lot of the sound effects play at specific locations, I think this hurt the game. I think horror works by escalation and dies by repetition the first half the game had escalation in droves. I was sweating and I almost never get rattled in a horror game. But once it became a blind hunt the escalation turned to repetition and I kind of fell off. I even reopened the game to check the original hands. But the sound work is stellar, the art is great though occasionally a little more creepy pasta than scary. The gallery is well made and the 3d art works are lovely. Definitely has a lot of really good things going for it.
