I would be completely okay without these mechanics as long as it was a scary game, but it is not. Something is missing, and I believe it is these core mechanics from TDD. I am just telling you why I think the game is bad. And no.. there is nothing stupid about that.

I find the game more intellectually horrifying. In other words, just thinking about what the narrative is saying is really scary. Some crazy shit goes on behind the curtain, if you pay close attention. You don't always see it, but it's way more disturbing than what happens in TDD in my opinion.

I agree with this to an extent. Everyone is going to have their own experience and while for most people the playthrough was about 4 hours, it took me a solid 7 to finish. The implied horror and ambiguous expositions didn't deliver all the way through.

Early game spoiler:
Spoiler below!
The scariest moment for me in the game was entering the secret walls of the mansion and discovering that the walls used to house a resident, most likely Mandus himself, and that he had rigged the paintings to be see through one way. There was a see through painting looking directly at a bathtub and he had drawn some really disturbing pictures all around. The whole scene just screamed terrifying obsession.

Sadly thats the only scare I got out AAMFP. The story was simply too dry and I feel like TCR tried to hard to be ambiguous, but did not have substance. The remaining horrible discoveries were so very predictable by the time I had some evidence that they happened it didn't really phase me.
