I have seen the notepad file in a few other horror games ( Imscared is a good example). It's a neat idea, in theory. Typically with most games the text file updates every time the game is played and "crashes" or you exit the game. It adds a realistic feel to the game and can make it feel more immersive. Like "Oh the game is haunted and it's making it's own files on my hard drive!" But sort of overdone in this instance.
