That was just AMAZING
Firstly, the creatures design is really creepy and cool. Except for the biblical angel they all are super unique, creepy and feel really alien. I LOVE that they are following their own rules and weird logic.
It really felt like encountering an SCP for the first time. Is it friendly? Dangerous? Does it straight up hates us? Can we bargain with it?
The observer role is also REALLY creepy. It's easy to be brave when you're standing before the monster. You can run away or fight the thing. You will figure something out. But feeling that someone else's life is on the line is straight up horrifying (in a good way)
And the mystery is great. Metanoia is mysterious. Organisation is mysterious. Do I want to learn about them? Would it cost my sanity?
My only complaint is yeah first time Metanoia dies cause you're stupid makes you feel terrible, horrified. But the checkpoint instantly lets you restart the case. So yeah stakes are not super high. It's great cause it lets you finish the game and explore a bit more, but I wonder if there would have been a meta cost for failures how the game would play. I LOVED tension of worrying about making something wrong and getting your partner killed.
