I cannot recommend this game at all. Just get the first one, it is better in every aspect. This feels absolutely amateurish compared to the first entry in the series.
Game gives:
-No directions to some puzzles.
-No indication on what your progress is in terms of endings or game progression. (other than steam achievements)
-No respect of the players time, due to how bad the checkpoint system is sometimes.

There are multiple things indicating that they just copy and pasted the original project and switched things up (indicated by literally having a bunch of assets in the files, straight from the first game in the series).

This game feels like a typical mascot horror release, and a DLC to the first game rather than a sequel. The story (without spoilers) is basically just "We know the story was unfinishes, let us poke more holes into it and just say we'll fix it in the 3rd entry in the series."
Banban ass release structure.

Good

I really love this game. Don't get discouraged on the difficulty of the first puzzle. It has been changed several times through the course of this game being released, so you're not the only one. Once you get past the first two puzzles they become more linear. I enjoyed the story more than the first one, it made me want to complete the puzzles to learn more about the story. I even liked how bratty Amanda is in this one for some reason. Re-watching the tapes is also not pain-staking like you would think. The game gives you numerous different options to respond with that change the character's reactions. It feels like getting a new tape sometimes.
The only con I have about this game was the monotony of scanning and searching for so many books throughout the library.
