Tbh while I've played every murder sim by Gato, I'm not really the target audience for such games. Unlike many other fans, I don't get off on seeing my MC abused, tortured, or immersed in gore. I'm not into snuff films either. I only enjoy it to some extent because it's something different, and I find it amusing to collect a bunch of death endings for a change. Also, the later games had better characters than Strade (I'm a fan of BTD2/TPOF Lawrence and Ren. I don't like DLC Ren because of the snuff). However, Strade is getting a remake now, where his personality will be better portrayed, so his torture actions will probably make more sense. Gato herself admitted that he was somewhat 'out of character' in some scenes.
Ironically, I'm not really a horror fan. I don't watch horror movies or play horror games. But I enjoy writing eerie and suspenseful scenes, so I've become a fan of psychological horror at least.
I can only say that DG was inspired by Strade, so you can expect more torture scenes in his route. However, I'll focus more on MC trying to escape/survive, while DG will also be in the mood to play psychological games with you. And I'd like to add a few mini-games to this project as well :)
Yup, Rasmus can be a real jerk, and that continues in Day 2. But there will be a funny scene where you can get back at him a little <3 There will always be options for all the Rasmus haters to put him in his place ;D and it's just fun to write, hehe. Damon deserves a hug, it's just too bad that he'll always misinterpret it and want more~
I hope this gives you a better idea of what to expect ^^
