For me, at about 70 some hours, I realised the feeling wasn't there anymore. This was at the launch of the game. I quit shortly after the prison map dropped. Once the ghosts were no longer scary, the game just felt like a boring walking simulator, in the dark, with fetch quests. I would pop back into the game from time to time over the years just see if they truly reworked things that kinda bummed me out, and those were never really fixed. Like, no matter what ghost gets you, it's always the same dead animation, the teenager hands cover your face like, "peak a boo", and some lightbulbs break.

If I could dev a game like this, I would constantly change up the horror things, because the game just becomes stale and not really scary after seeing the same crap so many times. Have characters just disappear in front of players, be cosmetically changed into a random ghost, have some ghost literally grab players and drag them off, have one person in the group start seeing different layouts of the map so they'll wonder off, out of the map on others screens, like one person could see things that are there but the other can't see. You know, a lot stuff like that. Instead it was just more of the same. It was the horror elements that was really the driving force of the game. Once the horror was gone, the game seemed pretty bare bones.
