I was a bit turned off by the real-time aspect as opposed to full turn-based, but it's interesting enough that I want to play more of the demo. I didn't get very far beyond the first combat mission. The game also has character comments for non-voiced lines that don't match the words being said which is extremely annoying.
This review seems spot on from my 6-7 hours with it to this point. The game is really pretty to look at. My only complaint is I wish the hidden object/camera mechanic wasn't there. I'm fine just reading the story and managing the occasional battle.
I played through this over the weekend, and it feels exactly like Until Dawn for better or worse. They simplified the gameplay, but the story beats feel very similar. I would not recommend until it's $30-40 but I enjoyed my playthrough.
I think the cynicism about DLC with this game is overblown. If they were offering content packs it would be one thing, but a few extra characters that don't impact the gameplay are pretty minor.

Re: Soul Hackers 2 (PS5) - SMT on a Budget
I appreciate the detail on the review. I may still play this due to the combat being good and dungeons being less of a priority for me.
