Those are good points but I don't understand why you're being so hostile toward the developer.
Calling it an asset flip and stating that 5% of the game is theirs is also pretty uncalled for. Even if none of the artwork in the game is original, if proper credit is given then using assets does not devalue the game. It just saves a bunch of time for the developer. Making assets from scratch is pretty time consuming.
I said it's an asset flip because i couldn't find anything original, visual or mechanics-wise. Usually, I find something good, but this is too simple for it being a demo. A demo has some new or interesting mechanic that makes it distinct and unique from other games. Im not saying it should have been a 10 hour experience for me to rate it good, i was saying that there could have been something to make it interesting for a short experience and excite people about what's coming.
Also just like you said, i don't mind free or paid assets. Making a game with some assets that don't belong to you is perfectly fine and i don't mind it at all, as long as it isn't stealing. Also i know these assets here aren't stolen, just sayin
The reason i said the game is 5% his, is because these free assets aren't his. It's only the simple programming.
The video shown is just supposed to poke fun at how not scary the game is. I mean, i just walked through the whole castle without being killed. The main point of a horror game is for there to be a threat, either real or psychological, but there wasn't any. That's the point of the video, just a showcase on what to stop the player from doing and to make me fearful. Just spamming a bunch of scary sounds isn't scary.
Also, do i really sound that hostile towards the developer? I just want to be informative and direct, sorry about hurt feelings i guess. I never meant to say that this game should stop its production, I'm saying it should focus on upgrading because it can be good.
Anything else i should answer?
