Sorry for bring up this old thread, just need some help here.
Just started the game last night, and already in chapter 4, gosh... its didnt even take long, and that the real prob..
1. I didnt feel scare at all, no horror... am i playing it wrongly? Is there a way to switch off the heart beat alert whenever there is a shibito around? Its make all the tense gone.
2. Can i actually not utilizing the sight jack at all? Manage to know all the enemies location make this games really easy and less scary imho.
3. The objective is so straightforward. Is like going from point 1 to 2, do this and that, then mission accomplish. Can i actually switch off the onjective indicator. At least let me try and error until i am frustrate, then only i refer to objective log? The hints are just so obvious...
4. Any other way to play this game in a much scarier way besides play it at night, light off etc? Except for disc opening part where there is a women moan creep me out, the other sound effect is just ok.
5. I saw in youtube that there is some executioning move, example, the part where you can hit the first women shibito onto the window, how do you do that? I hit the Square button, but end up hitting her, which cause a punch.
6. How do you guys find the hidden achievement? I mean i never pick up anything in the game at all besides the weapons. I think i am going to replay it again to actually explore every corner of the chapter as compare to now, i just jump straight into the objective, which is pretty fast.
7. Should i actually play in normal mode? I play easy, and is freaking easy. Hahaha...
Kindly help, I wanted to play a horror game

Thank
To answer:-
1). As you move along the game - yes, it isn't scary at all. At the beginning it does but once a while you will know how this game moves around, even with a weapon, its not scary later on and all the suspense of the game just goes away (due to certain parts of the chapter, you will understand what I mean later on).
2). Actually, you can not use sight jack at all. But the advantage of sight jacking is to know where Shibitoes do move around a bit. Yes, they are very pattern like but that's how it is.
3). Pretty much it is a straightforward game. The main objective is to follow the objective of the goal and also to avoid Shibitoes (unless stated have to contact them). But you can finish this game two ways - finish the game just follow the story or finish the game collecting hidden items that is spread all over the chapters to get the entire story. Its quite hard to get them all since at certain parts of the game you need to accomplish something in order to get certain items in later chapters. Well, it's just there for the objective indicator but you can try to do it another way if you find a path that can lead to that. But still, you need to complete the objective before you can move further on. That's how straightforward it is.
4). If you are an experience horror movie-goer, this game no matter how you switch of the lights at night or play on Halloween night, doesn't and won't scare you in later chapter. Sorry, the game works only at the first 3 chapters later it's not scary anymore.
5). That one is prompt. You need to be very closed to the Shibito without her knowing you are near (I mean real close) in order to smash her head to the window.
6). I give you the first hidden item (not achievement) - As you walk out of the police "station" the police car will stop near you. When you recover control of your character, run toward the end of the road to your left, close the flashlight and crouch. Walk back toward the car slowly,the policeman will go toward the bus stop. Once he is there and turn around, pick the sake bottle on the bench near him. Let him walk back to the car. His next movement will be toward the police station door. Strike him when he is in the door. He will drop his notepad. Pick it up and run uphill. The rest you can either google it or just GameFaqs as some are very hard to get.
7). Uh... go play Normal lar. Play easy of course easy mah. Have a little bit of challenge.
