The gameplay is characterized by traditional horror elements, where players familiarize themselves with mechanics while exploring unsettling environments and avoiding threats like mannequins and spectral samurais. Reviewers appreciate the innovative mechanics, particularly the "weeping angel" doll, but suggest that improvements are needed, especially regarding level progression and the potential addition of features like proximity chat for enhanced immersion. Overall, the gameplay is well-received for its creativity and engagement.
