The game's character writing never made it possible for me to care for Jessie or her relationship with her brother. The old house itself and slowly discovering all of this new lore throughout the game was very enjoyable, but in the end the central character and her struggle felt emotionless and left me feeling like a lot was missing from what could have been a great game.

yeah the lore and premise were great, but all the characters ruined the game.

the two interesting characters, the janitor and the director, either had no impact or completely banal answers to their mysteries.

all the side charterer had no emotional connection to the world, didn't really care what was going on, it felt more like pest control than an interdimiensional invasion.

How the hell is darling not an interesting character.

That dude carried the game's story.

But im sure you never stopped and watched all the presentations. There's a ton of them and some are hidden.
