no, you're not critiquing it too much, people just need to stop endlessly praising the "least common denominator" type games and pretending they're creepy, these types entirely rely on you to already be endlessly afraid of the scenario going in, but if you're just chilling or have any sort of skin when it comes to "horror" imagery, then the only emotion you'll feel playing this is boredom. besides this, the format is super unoriginal, too, like this is the third "survey" type mandela catalog game i've played and literally the only thing that's meaningfully different is the portraits that they've distorted, I mean, even the story with the kid in the park and the vhs-tape vibe, and the anonymous company telling you to pray to whatever god you believe in was the same...
