This is a crime against common sense. You should literally go back to wherever you bought this and ask for a new batch of cheese sticks. They are too good to be wasted like this.
get some cheese block, some crumbles, coat cheese pieces with crumbles, bake them for 15 minutes, and voilà, cheese sticks that no one could arnaque you for
That's what happens when you overcook them. the cheese melts out into the hot oil. If you have ever tried to make them yourself you have prolly ran into this problem.
Only thing drive me crazy is all these new horror games nowadays is its so dark, all time. I can't even play them. I understand they trying to create spooky but be creative a little, not just darkness with pop out scare scenes.
