The characters, CGs and backgrounds are incredibly well drawn and suit the game's atmosphere. The point and click mechanic is a nice touch and switches up the dialogue. The soundtrack is also fitting, though it did get a bit repetitive at some point. Or maybe that was just me.
At the same time I feel like the game lacks in content a bit. The point and click feature only contains one item per room and that made me wonder whether it was really used to its fullest potential. The sound effects that are there are approporiate, but I sometimes felt like there could have been more. Especially for opening doors, moving things and the shotgun blast.
Lastly, the writing seems to build up to a larger story than is actually there, mostly because of the references to Ellen. Ellen could probably be removed entirely without it affecting the story too much. I also think the beast appears seemingly out of nowhere. To be clear, the scare at the end was properly handled; that one being sudden is appropriate. I was talking about the moment where Kate looks out the window. It probably would have worked better if there were more signs of some kind of monster building up to this reveal. I think the story could be improved a lot by not mentioning Ellen and by adding more moments where the monster is heard stalking through the house and by adding more signs of previous incidents prior to its first reveal.
