First and foremost, what the hell are these physics? A lot of the speed to this game is extremely incongrous and creates a very dissonant experience where trying to get the girl do actually perform the action you want is frustratingly difficult - the jumping is floaty, while the running is extremely fast yet the wall slide speed extremely slow. Combine this with inconsistent double jump registration and the combat control scheme (have to stand still to kick yet run to stab forward?) and it all combines to an extremely frustrating experience that I neither got the hang of, nor even felt getting the hang of. The combat/beat-em-up augmentation to the platformer is an interesting blend conceptually (although the control scheme does it no favours here either), and I love the cute lovecraftian horror aesthetic (as cliche it was/may continue to be), but fundamentally it is no fun to play.
