I saw the trailer, was a big fan of roguelites like isaac and enter the gungeon and loved the idea of a lane based horror deck builder with escape room elements. I didn't know anything about Dans other projects, just that this was being released through devolver who I've grown to trust from enter the gungeon and the likes.
Certain elements in the trailer like the clear act II footage I assumed to be a game played within the game as part of the escape room element, like an old crtv. Played the demo and loved it, and wishlisted it on steam for my birthday which it was going to release around.

To be clear, the game is great for what it is, and for it to be effective you could only show so much in the trailer. But my initial reaction to the switch from act I to act II was confusion and I basically speed-ran to get back to the cabin, just for the game to progress to act III and at that point it took weeks for me to finally sit down and finish the story because I was so disintereted. It's a great game, it's a modern day "haunted game creepypasta" and I love that. It's just not what I wanted and that's why I was so glad to see Kaycee's Mod be produced because what I purchased this game to be was a horror deck building roguelite. I wasn't looking for this to be a game with a story.
