The trailer only briefly touches on the events of the game so I found myself forced to read - so, reading what’s posted below the game reads very cool with a watch that controls the time of day (I assume morning/afternoon/night… a lantern that well lights things up but also alerts you to ‘supernatural happenings’ which leaves me in two minds honestly .. I can either see and be alerted to the horrors around me or I can be in the pitch dark and clueless
On a more serious note, the game looks like it could be a ton of fun, a little creepy and hopefully puzzling (given it has puzzles) … according to the reviews notes in the trailer the story/game should stick with you for some time, so its already on my ‘to play when time allows list’
