Sensational art design! I loved the tense and atmospheric tone; there's a sense of classic horror cinema throughout that I enjoyed immensely! The voice acting is terrific as well (though I also noted the balance was ever so slightly off, I found taking the music volume down to the 50% level fixed the discrepancy). All in all, a tight, tidy package, and lots of spooky fun!
