  Same. I want to like this game and I still do, I'm still playing it, but the more I play it, the more frustrating it gets, regardless of how many times I restart or continue from my last save. It's like the game gets progressively buggier and more unfair each time I start it. First of all, there's no indication as to how Siren Head sees me, he just seems to chase me when he feels like it, which is a lot (not helping is that the game doesn't give me time to see him until it's too late). He also doesn't run away sometimes which happens more and more I play and restart. He just stands there and starts the chase sequence again and catches me because I can't outrun him, or he would get blocked by a tree and go back to chasing me again right after. Also, despite me using a rifle and not a shotgun or something, my shots don't affect him from further away, so he has to be close enough or else I would die mid-reload animation which I'm forced to sit through as well as have an extra short delay before I can shoot again. Finding extra ammo is incredibly unfair and unreasonable, I didn't even realize there was also extra ammo in that building to turn on the power until multiple playthroughs later, I was only able to get lucky with ammo preservation because I died so many times. Also for whatever reason, after I got an ending for the first time, the objective notifications have never shown up again since, even though I didn't get that ending in one go without dying. This isn't a problem for me because I know what to do and I also use the waypoint marker button, but it annoys me because I don't think this was intentional and I have no way of fixing it, there isn't even any clear indication in the local files. Also, the "quest log" button does absolutely nothing. I thought it would fix the notification problem but nope, it does nothing no matter how many times I press it. By the way, this was all on "easy" mode, I hate to imagine what the other difficulties are like without me tearing my hair out.
