Absolutely loved the game! The PS1 aesthetic is perfect for the world and tone of this game. While it's not really scary, it is so much more enjoyable than the just scare/walking sims that are all over the horror page of this site. Here's my full playthrough of the game! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/727870906

Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it! It was cool seeing you play! You had some great observations.
About all of the ghosts being robed dudes: it was simply for time reasons (I only had so much time to dedicate to modeling and animating, and I didn't want to use the player model, or the girl). Shortcuts and/or checkpoints are a bit sparse for the same reason.
As for the graphics question you posed near the start of the stream: for this game, I absolutely started by wanting to make PS1-style graphics. I have always loved the look of the games of that era, and I think it's especially suitable for horror-themed games, because more can be left to imagination :)
