Honestly, and this was probably the first clue that I wasn't going to want to keep playing, I noticed that stuff but didn't pay attention to it. I was just going to see how fast I could sort everything. Also, I should have picked the "cozy" option because there were some disturbing things going on that I was trying to ignore, like voices whispering in my ear and other strange sounds.I watched a tips video about it,
skill choice helps a lot, seems you don't have to pick them in order
The keys helps a little and it helps to use the maps.
There is a speedrun to do entire thing in under 3 hours... its actually an achievement in game.
