I chose not to do the tutorial, it puts you into a tutorial anyway making you follow step by step which is just a tutorial, I placed the laptop down, brought a camera, then turned the gen on, and soft locked as it keeps telling me to buy a camera, I buy another one going over budget, still tells me to buy one. I am always down for something like PhasmoPhobia that isn't that game, something better or on the same level, so this is cool, same so far that S&Box is a disapointing platform for users still and so games like this are tied to that, theres games like this on Roblox which is just going to be a better experiance.

The game looks alright, however, my problem is that your batteries run out like instantly, which is annoying cuz I'm here to play a horror game, not a survival battery hunting game. Also, I got merked like 5 seconds in. I walked into the building, and what I can only presume was some sort of clown (the torch only shows like 1 meter in front of you, the rest is pitch black) flipped a bunch of chairs over and then beat me to death? Dare I reiterate what the game is called: "Paranormal Observation", implying that we observe paranormal events. I went into this thinking it would maybe be a chiller Phasmophobia, but sadly, it's just a ghost-beats-you-up simulator (I couldn't even see him). ANOTHER thing is what I would consider "bad load times." The load times aren't actually bad, there's just ONE MILLION loading screens. ofc the default s&box loading screen, followed by a splash screen, then a flash transition loading screen when you click play, then the loading screen when transitioning between scenes then another like starting game splash screen... again... then when you want to go drive your car... there's one (technically 2 because you have to drive back) loading screen(s). The last thing I'd like to mention as well is that when I was hit by... a clown or whatever was beating me violently while laughing, my controls either turned off, inverted, decreased greatly, idk what happened, but my character was walking really slow, limping, and walking in a completely wrong direction. So even if I did want to escape the thing beating me, I couldn't. It just walked me into a wall and let the thing beat me over and over. Oh actually, there’s one last thing. I could be wrong, but I’m like 90% sure the UI is made with Claude, and the song in the store is AI generated with Suno... so...
