I finished my first playthrough, and I think this game is fantastic. The setting, visuals, and storyline felt really immersive. What I liked most about this game was the atmosphere and immersion. The game, in and of itself, looks modern and performs very well. The eerie music helps make it more terrifying, and the ultrawide (21:9) support is a huge plus. That said, I do have a few critiques worth mentioning.
One of the core mechanics of this game is the photo mechanic, where you click pictures of particular objects to progress. However, this isn't clearly explained early on (or I may have missed it). For the first 30 minutes, I was stuck, unsure of what to do. Once I figured out the mechanics, it became more intuitive. However, a brief introduction to the camera, perhaps in the form of a tutorial or text, would make things smoother for new players.
There's also a lot of walking involved in this game, and if it's your first playthrough, you'll find yourself walking back and forth. Even though some appreciate that, at times, it felt like unnecessary padding.
Lastly, while the jumpscares are scary, and they'll sometimes catch you off guard, their placement becomes somewhat predictable. Once you're in that "segment," you know to expect them until you finish that puzzle. If they were more randomized, they would have packed a stronger punch.
Despite my nitpicks, I loved the game. The puzzles aren't too challenging, and the storyline keeps you on the edge. The few issues I had didn't ruin my experience, and I'd still highly recommend it to anyone interested in psychological horror.
