Very nice aesthetic horror game with a twist on curses and how to deal with them. In a stunning move never before done in any indie horror game, in order to get the best ending you have to just let things lie. Don't go back in time and break the pact. Don't let your tormentor die. Sometimes, things happen for a reason and by allowing them no matter how shitty, you allow yourself to not be swayed into giving people what they want.

Very few jumpscares but don't really love the stealth. Fortunately, there is a difficulty setting. The open-world nature of the game reminds me of Kona which I'll have to beat someday but that game was more Painscreek Mystery Solving with Survival Mechanics. This one is more I Wont Tell You What You're Looking For Haha Enjoy Exploring and Backtracking. It's not necessary but strewn throughout the game are items that permanently increase your stats and you will need them for the night phases which require sloooooowly crawling around sentient hay bales and killer beekeepers. There's even a weapon that requires going all the way back to the first house to unlock a door you may have forgotten ages ago and I can't imagine going through the first time on Normal or Hard without this gun. Probably my hatest collectible is the Coffee which requires about 4-5 "ingredients" collected in various places, then you have to backtrack to an oven to heat it up and drink it for permanent HP raise. And you will need it!

Theoretically speaking, I'd just play this with a guide for the collectibles, if all you wanna do is story stuff. In this case, I don't mind it as much because the exploration part is very fun as well.

That said, I didn't mind because the environment, the characters, and the plot was pretty interesting and fresh. It wasn't just any Old World "you dont understand our ways" villager horror. It was something more realistic that really challenged the way I thought about things honestly.

It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you.
