Nothing creeps me out more than ghosts trying to watch me whislt i sleep. And these ones are trying to terrify me! Great game.

Really cool game! Well designed with a dark tone to the story. The multiple endings is a great idea and works well with this type of game.

This is an interesting topic I hadn't considered. As part of my job and workplace, I authenticate and buy luxury designer bags so I get to see a lot of these consumers. There's other factors that can amplify the gambling-like behaviour, like many are middle aged woman with a reasonably good household income but might be lonely or in a boring marriage - you could relate this to the similar demographic of online bingo and similar games that are a form of gambling.

Where as younger women might have a new source of income with limited liabilities like a mortgage and look at bags and designer items as investments, so buy more as a result, including limited editions which can cost 50% to 200% more than their normal offering.

Interesting the TikToks I've seen on the subject tend to be the "haul" format, but the only one's I've seen tend to be people unboxing fake bags, the other side of that is they can afford much more which makes the videos more exciting, opening 3-6 boxes in one video.

Someone once recommended me the tech youtube channel "Unbox therapy", however calling it tech is an overstatement - I found the content boring and uninformative, specifically because it only targets the sensation of opening the box of a new product. The title of the channel is also pretty telling that they're targeting people who are essentially addicted to purchasing a new peice of tech. I've known people like this, including the person who recommended the channel, who switch out their tech products every few weeks or few months, why? It could be the same sort of gambling behaviour or mentality. Compared to someone who does their research and makes a considered purchase, chronic tech switchers are also essentially, losing money at each switch, in most cases - which might as well be the same effect as gambling money and losing.
