There's gore, but none of it is during the sex scenes. On a "scary scale" of 0-10, I'd put this game at about a 3 myself. It's got some horror-y elements but nothing that will actually scare you unless you're
ridiculously easy to frighten. As for the kinetic part, people severely underappreciate the value of a good, linear and well-told story, as well as overvalue the illusion of "choice" in games like these. I mean really, aside from opting in to/out of shagging a specific girl or engaging in a specific kink, what "choices" do we really
need to be able to make in AVNs?

I may be stupid, but i like the illusion of choice. And what i like the most about these choices, if that we can avoid to have sex with the girl we don't like. For example i don't like candace at all, and it's not fun to see the sex/romance with her.
Also i know it is much common on Japanese VN, but sometime choice REALLY matter. In short: i love when they are multiple route, i don't like the all in, unique harem route. But it's so costly/way more difficult that i understand that dev doing like most dev do, with only a few choice that matter (and like i said, i'm fine with that, as long as i can avoid that the MC is in "relationship" with the girl i don't like at all)
I'm not done with the game right now (i haven't finished Arc 1 ), but suffice to say that they are good and bad.
like i said,i don't like harem in general, and the game is one of them (having choice allow me to pass through harem game too). I've to say that the game doesn't scare me a bit, but the horror thematics are here, and i like the atmosphere it give to the game. The mystery is here too, i don't like the fact that most aren't honest with each other but i get it that without that, the story couldn't be that interesting. Nothing complicated but it keep me going to see what's next.
Also
spoiler (for the part of Arc 1 i've already read, i haven't finished yet as i said )
. So it's a nice game for now, i'm gonna dig more.
Maybe i talk too much about it, especially when i'm not done with it. Sorry about my wall of text.
