should have been completely directed by Toshimitsu Takagi

the game really feels different from the other three games he made .. i feel like he shouldve directed and wrote everything :/ it doesnt have that creepy/mysterious vibe that we fell in love with

I agree. I just finished it and honestly I'm really disappointed. I remember playing the original when I was a kid and I remember how ominous and unsettling it was and this one started off pretty well too. I was surprised to hear the classic sound effects and music. The nostalgia definitely made me feel like a kid again. The whole thing had an eerie vibe and I was honestly scared of what may have been behind the door. When it opened a little after the first rotation of the room I was half expecting to see that skeleton from Viridian Room creep in from the darkness or something... but things started to go down hill as soon as the safe became a microwave, then it just got weirder and weirder and the solutions made less and less sense, all leading up to an ending that was a huge disappointment. When the final cutscene played I thought to myself "this better not be the ending" and it was. It wasn't even like I found a secret ending by accident or anything, the game seriously ends like that. Like wtf?
