A really good slow-burn horror adventure, with a great hook and an interesting story!
Art Direction: I really like the style. It reminds me of some sort of Control demake, and the atmosphere is creepy, mysterious, and even oppressing at times.
Audio: really good, nothing too invasive and the sound design works really well.
Controls/UI: I find the UI a bit lacking, but nothing that can't be improved. The controls are really good, and a great choice for this kind of game. I only felt the walking in first person a bit floaty /rubber banding but may be a personal sensation.
Game Loop: classic adventure game loop (explore, gather items, talk to people, advance with the story) but with an amazing twist.
I really love the hook of this game, the switch between two types of controls is a brilliant idea to change the pace of the game but also convey different emotions to the player. While being in a first-person view I felt in control, but in the third-person view, everything changed: now I felt like a simple spectator looking at the main character being at the mercy of anything.
Great idea and a great game so far. Will keep en eye on this.

Thank you so much for playing and the review :)
UI - I'm planning to bring a UI artist on board, assuming I get some good news I've been waiting on for the past 6 weeks. Definitely agree it needs work.
Controls - I think the issue here comes from the character have deceleration on the controller, which doesn't make them stop when you stop pressing an input. This has been removed, but not released as an update yet.
