I really like the visual style of the game especially with how losing sanity makes it really hard to see. however, i didn't really find a need for the gun so im not sure how it was balanced to avoid the penalty of looking at the monsters in order to aim at them.
I liked all the different creatures and their placement, they kind of acted as landmarks for when i was getting lost, but it was still confusing to move around the first few times i played.
The restart from checkpoint is a really nice quality of life feature too.
I also like the old school shooter feel because of the rotating sprites.
