Pretty bad at this point

I played the demo of this a good while ago and was happy when I saw it on steam. But overall this game drops the ball.

The graphics are pretty poor, voice acting is worse. The controls are OK (there aren't many) and the game plays alright for the most part. The problem is the lack of direction and difficulty. Now I love hard games; games where difficulty can be overcome by adapting, learning and overcoming. None of that is the case here. One ghost in particular will move fast than you, prevent you from drawing your camera (which is required to kill it) and you'll play it over and over (running for about 40 seconds to a white light between deaths) waiting for that one time you get lucky and he spawns far enough away for you to take photos of him without him hitting you. That's actually as exciting as the game gets too.

The ghost design and lore behind them is really quite interesting. I liked the enemy design for the most part. Pity there is little variety; you either take photos of them countless times until they vanish or you run away.

That actually sums up this whole game. Do not expect to get more than 2 hours play through MAXIMUM before you hit the 'to be continued'. Do not expect any sort of a story or any sort of a resolution. Just expect to have no idea what you're doing, run around taking photos of ghosts who won't scare you at all until you reach the conclusion (probably before the conclusion of your current drink).

I hope the updates are better than this. Aside from the music, I enjoyed very little about this experience. Waste of money.
