I think the reviewer was quite harsh, and though not incorrect about many aspects, should have approached it a bit more as a first game by an indie developer. From that perspective I found it quite enjoyable, and it was nice to see that the developer succeeded in some scenes/episodes, but was struggling in other ones. It would have been wiser perhaps when the developer had waited to release this episode in order to polish some of the scenes, for the flaws in some scenes were avoided in other ones. Though the game uses as may be expected some stereotypical environments (of course many will remember Keepsake, and an asylum isn't unexpected as well), a big pro I think was that the game managed to create – I know it is quite vague – atmosphere. But it certainly made me curious about the next episode, not only in terms of game play, but also to see improvements.
