Lovin the voice mate, the content's great too keep it up!

[@BoneKingTV]

Great review, dude! Gonna have to revisit this one day to finally see the ending. And I had no idea it was leaked before it came out! Lol

[@SophiaXiaoyuAralaCran]

Do you think one day this game might have a very small chance to be remade for later consoles like PS5, Switch, and Steam?

[@InfiniteBacklogGameReviews]

Pretty unlikely. I think it could work in VR, but it didn't do so well in terms of sales.

[@goranisacson2502]

So if you get ten chapters after playing four chapters as other characters, does that mean you get to replay all the other characters chapters and then go to some kind of finale? On the one hand that sounds kinda repetitive, even if you do say they vary things up a little in the episodes, but I do admit I'm impressed by their thrifty asset re-use. Though I wonder if I'd like to play this one, considering it looks like a game where the few dangerous ghost encounters you do encounter seem to revolve around maneuvering around them, and that looks like it could be pretty clunky.

[@InfiniteBacklogGameReviews]

Correct. When you start from the Bonus chapter, you play as someone completely different and the levels are now played in the correct order.

[@Moxximillion]

That's a pretty fair rating. Seemed kind of gimmicky to me and weak compared to things like Siren and Project Zero but it's not a terrible game.

[@SomeSunshineOutside]

would you happen to have a backloggd account by any chance

[@InfiniteBacklogGameReviews]

I don't actually. I have a pile and I take what's on the pile if I want to get to something I haven't played yet.

[@SomeSunshineOutside]

@@InfiniteBacklogGameReviews yeah that's fair. i was just looking to delve into your game library.

[@InfiniteBacklogGameReviews]

@@SomeSunshineOutside It’s a bit of everything across everything. Calling was actually a game I was supposed to cover last year, but I picked up the game a little too late.

[@SomeSunshineOutside]

@@InfiniteBacklogGameReviews see i just watched your theresia review from 8 years back, and then calling, both of which i'm interested in, so chances are i'll like what's in between these 8 years too.

[@InfiniteBacklogGameReviews]

@@SomeSunshineOutside There's a bunch of other things I want to get to as well. I really like it when people look at the lesser known games and checking them out.
