So Gyo itself is pretty silly and not really scary. I'd hate to be in that situation don't get me wrong, but it won't keep me up at night. 
It kinda lost me towards the end as well, it ends so abruptly and without resolution.

The enigma of amigara fault is brilliant however, I love that story so much.
