So, a ghost catching game ala Fatal Frame, and it's cheap. Let's give it a try.

- First of all, I needed to reduce the mouse sensitivity to like 1/5 of the bar because it was nearly unplayable as it was (more about this later).
- I don't know what version of the game is the one shown on the trailers, but my game didn't look like that at all, and I had all the settings in Fantastic. The game doesn't look very good but I can deal witht that.
- It IS very dark though, so I had to adjust brightness bar almost to the max because, with he game's suggested settings, it was almost impossible to see things during the night sequence in Act 1.
- The game isn't very clear with your objectives and it lacks a map. I was stuck in Act 0's puzzle because I didn't realize (nor the game even hinted at) that you had to backtrack and defeat enemies that had appeared without any sign in order to advance.
- There are tons of missable things in Act 1 even before you start the "main" game. Again, how are you supposed to guess you have to backtrack aaaaaaaaall the way back through town in order to get the stuff.
- The Scissor enemy was pretty difficult because every time I was hit and dropped from camera mode I wasn't able to see my character, therefore I didn't know when I was actually in control again and was able to pull my camera. I had to resort to right clicking constantly which made my character drop the camera as soon as she pull it out, and the enemy comboing me to dead. The solution? Don't get hit once.
- Oh a wall of insects blocked my path? I guess I need to find another way, right? Nope, you have to enter it because logic.

Again, many times you have to do things that the game never hinted at and make little sense. But again, I can deal with that. If I'm stuck, I just check a guide. Something I hate doing, but at least it's a problem that can be solved. What I couldn't deal with was the numeroues glitches and bugs I encountered. Many times they were gamebreaking and apparnetly they are very frequent and numerous.

So, here's the glitches and issues I encountered during my playthrough (spoilers)

Act 1
- Outside school at night, while going for the "Attack on Titan" achievement decided to quit the game to make some changes to the Graphic settings. Load the game again and I'm greeted with the dark sky and no earth, or character, or anything else at all. I have some camera movility but that's all. It´s all almost black. Quit to the title screen, load it again, and once again, blackness. Needed to close the application and launch it again for it to be fixed. Great.

- Inside the school, exploring the hallways after defeating the boar ghost I enter a bathroom and the red vinnete appears, I'm expecting something to come out from one of the toilets but nothing happened. When I'm about to exit the bathroom the pig ghost suddenly rams me against the wall and he pretty muchs stays there, I'm stuck inside the enemy taking damage untill I'm dead.
When I respawn at the school entrance and head to the hallway, the pig ghost is still in the running animation, but now in a different door. I can't pass because he pushes me, and I can't kill it either because its head is inside the room, therefore I can't damage it. I decided to let him be and continue the exploring, guessing he'll dissappear eventually.
I do pretty much everything I can until I'm stuck, turns out I HAVE to enter the room the pig ghost is blocking. I go back to the hall way and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing is still there! It´s been like 20 minutes. Exit to the title screen, load the file, lo and behold, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pig is still there. Once again I needed to close the application and launch it again. Marvelous

Act 2
- I don't know what the hell happened during the transition between games, but oh boy did they ♥♥♥♥ up with this one.
The problems I immediately noticed:

First:
In the very first screen I noticed that my mouse sensitivity sky rocketted, I can't explore my surroundings because the camera almost makes a 360° turn with a simple movement.
I assumed that I had to adjust the settings again, but upon checking them they are still the same as they had been for the rest of the game. I assumed closing the game might do the trick once more (it´s not a good thing when your the first thing that comes to mind to fix your problems is turn off the thing and restart it) but nope, not this time. Friggin mouse is still on crack. I created a new file, still not fixed.
Now, I can´t actually move the bar all the way to the left because that makes it almost impossible to move the camera at all, funny how it goes from fast to snail pace with almost no modification. I decide to move it all the way I could and kept going.

Second:
The framerate is horrible, it constantly drops and keeps freezing. It´s much worse when actually using the phone camera, it just skips frames and jumps from once place to another. The first part where I´m attacked by a bunch of imps is almost unplayable. Good thing that you´re supposed to "be killed" in that scene because if I actually had to deal with them I wouldn't have been able to continue, ever.

OK, so we got two big problems:
- Oversensitive mouse
- Horrible framerate (worst when you enter camera mode)
I'll call this combo ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ from now on. Decided to keep going

- The very first enemy you encounter is a chase sequence, in which I kept dying over and over, he always gets to you no matter what, and I can't stress this enough, but it's nearly impossible to control your character because of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥, really, when you can't even run properly you know it's bad. I needed to check a video online to see the path to take (since there are dead ends because ♥♥♥♥ you). It took me like 4-5 tries even when I knew what I was supposed to do. It didn't help that every time I started again the camera was pointing at the enemy and not where you're supposed to go. This was an issue in the second chase sequence (because we all loved the first one, didn't we?) But at least I didn't have to make sharp turns on that one

- The giant boss you fight shortly after is, once again, unplayable due to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥. It doesn't help that it has a ramming attack which leaves me pinned taking continuos damages (much like what happened with the pig ghost). I checked a guide and it says that it only has two attacks: a swipe, and throwing stuff at you. But nope, the thing leaps and rams you, and if I'm hit by it once, well, you're pretty much dead. I can't evade it nor I can take a picture fast enough before getting rammed due to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥.

This is where I gave up, if I'm only starting Act 2 and it's giving me so much trouble already, I really don't feel like going on since I'm not a masochist.

-----------

All in all, no matter how much I want to like this game, the sole fact that it has so many gamebreaking glitches and apparently wasn't tested properly makes it impossible to reccomend.

2.5/5
Average game brought down by numerous glitches and issues
