So I at length beat both the prequel (this game) and Setaria the Demon Realm, personally I fancied the 1st game more than this one (despite having a better gameplay, save for the camera controls ofc).
The 1st game actually managed to startle me during the whole manor section, especially with the "found you" text going red on your screen whilst a bloody demon was pursuing your arse throughout dimly lit hallways, that plus the part with the "cyclops" opening her eye and turning everything into a hellish realm with many diabolical corpses around.
This game on the other hand, although it did have some horror (especially with the "Death" enemy), it didn't impress me as much as had I expected; albeit, I definitely enjoyed the fact that you could abuse enemies and people whilst they were down, along with an actual way of avoiding damage (dashing) which wasn't featured in the 1st game.
Overall, quite a short but nice game, the animations were decent but worth it (especially due to the gameplay itself, not the actual H-content), although, reiterating, I still prefer Setaria because of its (even more) bizarre, grotesque horror setting (which has actually started growing on me).
