The game was mostly chill about that style of peaceful ritual exorcism being the way to deal with spirits nonviolently, but if you do it the spirit reveals itself to be some evil spirit that murders her lover then flees, with the game implying she'll just keep killing

That's the kind of shit I ran into before giving up entirely on it.

There's plot twists and surprises, then there's feeling the heavy hand of the narrative's preferred direction.
