Loving it so far. Not super far in by any means (~5 hours on steam, still in Chapter 1 exploring etc). But I simply haven't had the time until tonight to really dig into it. And I can't wait. The game is beautiful. Not just technically speaking but absouletely in terms of art style as well. It's Unreal Engine 5 so I was a bit nervous for the PC version. I was realived when the game started by doing shader pre compilation. And I'm happy to report that it runs like silk on my specs (7800X3D, RTX 3080, 32 GB RAM, game installed on 1TB Samsung 980 Pro). Running it at 1440p, DLSS quality (70%), all settings except GI maxed out (no RT). Game looks beatuiful and I haven't had any problems keeping 60 FPS+ (though I do have a VRR/G-sync compatible monitor so minor frame drops won't be as noticeable and I don't play constantly with Afterburner overlay). No shader compilation stutter (why I'm happy the game pre compiles all shaders at first run, GPU driver update, or game update) and haven't experienced any traversal stutter.

Incredible game. I can understand thinking "a top down horror game? Seriously?". But this game dose an amazing job building dread and tension. A HUGE part of this IMO is the amazing sound design. The art style is also fantastic. Every night stayed tenese and fun till the end. I can't praise it enough. The developers (only ~3-4 people) are also just really cool people. They themselves put up a torrnet of the full game. No catches. Just a readme file asking that if you like the game to please buy it. I was more than happy to do so.
