It's going to be a busy year.
I'm generally liking the game but there are a few things that are rubbing me the wrong way. For one, there is a ripple effect when you hit or block some of the attacks. There are a few different effects, actually. Slashes, impacts, waves. Then there's scream from Sakuko at the end of the trailer. That effect is not too different from the one the opera singer robot did in Nier Automata. These effects don't belong in a grounded horror like SH. They're action game effects, or at least something less based on the limitations of a normal person or for creatures from that world.
There's also the actress who plays Hinako. She's very pretty but the game doesn't capture that. She looks like the actress but she also looks, well, not as good as her. I think they should've modeled her rather than scanned her into CG. Making her by had they could've captured her better. It wouldn't be identical but if she was recognizable it would've been enough.
