Great game for the most part, it's just ever-so-sightly slightly too hard for me.

The general idea of exploring and finding all the bits you need for the exorcism, and relying on sound and the light being cast from the ghosts is cool.

But even if I was careful:
-Too many choke points.
-Just bad luck getting pincered.
-Not quite enough health to survive all 4 sections.
-If you take too slow an approach to wait for openings you'll lose too much health too.
-Not being able to strafe combined with enemies just having to look at you made escaping pursuit too punishing.
-Not being able to pick up new items while using the crucifix (which makes sense in context, but it means using it isn't the Hail Mary it should be.)
-Also, while it probably makes sense for the methodical gameplay and balancing, it's still kinda irritating how slow you move.  Maybe it wouldn't be if it wasn't for the other stuff.

I enjoyed it, and I still wanna beat it, but I suspect it's a bit harder than intended since you can beat it just fine... eh... I'll give it another go.

EDIT:  I beat it.  I'm god now.
(I'll post my recordings when they're up.)

Thanks for the feedback! I also had difficulty beating the game.. It's not on you. Also I forgot to say in the description that you strafe while holding shift. That makes thinks a bit easier.

Damn, I should have tried that.  It's how strafing works in my game too.
Anyways, here's the playthrough:  Haunted and Hallowed Pt1 by MScull
I had quite a lot of footage, so the first part is my initial playthrough, and the third is my final.

The middle one is all the other attempts sped up with some music.  I didn't wanna upload it all in full, but I thought you might wanna see the evolution of all the routes I took.  Maybe too fast, but it should be readable at half speed.
