What exactly does the reduce frights option do? [Spoilers]

[Gergely]

For what I know it probably does something to the place you get to by using an Artifact and them. Who are they you might ask? Well if you don't know you shouldn't be reading this in the first place.

My question is, what exactly does the reduce frights option do, and when is it recommended?

It does two things :
It makes the scary parts less scary;
It makes the scary parts easier;

I would recommend using it as soon as you think something is too scary for you.

I mean this is already pretty self explanatory from the option's description. I am asking out of curiosity on what are the exact effects of the option and the "when is it recommended" part is for those who might find the answer helpful in the future in deciding whether to use the option after learning about the relevant facts.

I see.
I don't know much about it (which means this post probably won't be exhaustive), but i am certain of two things :
-"Less scary" effect : The noises they make are way less aggressive (for example, they don't scream when they enter their "catching" mode)

-"Easier" effect : they are very slow.

Mostly, they are slower. That's it.
But the option is worth it because these part of the game are the most frustrating.

Tbh they are easy though, you just need to shine at them in one spot then go to another one with the light closed or juke them. I felt like it was going to be a hassle the first 2 times, after that it turned out to be fairly easy if you pay attention to the envoironment + fast retries. Its definetily better to complete them fast paced, just close the light and run lol.

the enemies are slower and there is less tense horror music that plays when they spot you
