I gotta say that, if I compare part 1 and the demo of part 2, then I would say that I like part 1 better, because the quality and the look of the characters is much better... at least for me. Sad to hear that the team gave up on part one for part 2, which is weird for me, but oh well. Will take a look at the finished game... finished.
The gore scenes in part 2 looks fine, but if I would compare them with part 1, I would say, part 1 has the better ones, especially the ones from Aya. The blood effects are way too excessive and look muddy at best, while in part 1, the kill came after the rape and as a kind of finisher.
It would be nice to see if the team would add gore scenes in part 1, but I guess that won't happening.
Still looking forward part 2. Hope it won't disappoint.
