A big noise happened and everyone ran out of the room in panic to check on it. But, given this is an FMV game and they left the player full controls, there’s no actual urgency to your own actions. The chill way you’re forced to check up is oddly in tune with the feel of the game, even if it’s ostensibly leading up to some form of horror.
When the game *does* move you without your input, it still follows the restrictive movement patterns you’re limited too, too. If you accept the limitations of the genre and the era, it does make you feel like that form of mobility’s inherent to this world.
