Decided to comment after playing the game a second time. As the first time I decided a good time was midnight to where I was thoroughly spooked. I cannot wait to the rest of the game when it's released as what is out right now is very alluring if that makes sense. Where I couldn't help but keep playing while wondering when the yandere would come in, but when it hit I was not expecting it.
------ SPOILER BITS ------
I like there are little bits hinting to where the story is going. Especially with stories the we can read while there, the one I felt showed what was about to come was the Sunlit Angel. Reading it and then seeing the monster [which could be the angel from the story] later on just jumpscared me a good deal.
Then of course there was the Townsfolk with the other hint was with the Johnsons [though think it's missplled in the game as Jhonson] Seen mainly with Mrs. Johnson's hand missing all the fingers. It caught me off guard as I didn't notice it right away until I rolled back to read fingerless hand thinking how she could hold a candle.
I can only wonder if Camden with his want to help us is a result of witnessing this ritual for far too long. Wondering if maybe if a townsfolk runs out of body parts to sacrifice then they'll just sacrifice their life for the town [since the dad is dead, but mentioned in the cellar with mentioning Iris' arm] Though also curious where he vanishes when caught in his attempt in the one round where we call for Maverick.
Additionally, I am curious about the deer as wondering if they might be a result of the ritual or that of the Angel. Made so that way people might have a harder time escaping from the town or simply there for some other reason. Seeing as in one route Camden was not surprised by the monster deer before killing it.
Finally at the end of the game with the ritual, probably why our leg is taken could be so harder to escape the town [can't really run with one leg] yet it also had me wonder why Jamie told us about this place. As I imagine the town is peaceful and normal before/after the festival, but I don't think people would be too comfortable seeing people with missing parts. Can only think that either she was not weirded out by the town and simply wanted us to have a place to relax. Or she had something else in mind to which we'll never know as there's no phone connection in the town.
Overall enjoyed the game and cannot wait to see what else is there in the full game!
