The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it repetitive and lacking in intuitive mechanics. While some appreciate the straightforward execution and atmospheric sound design, others criticize the clunky controls and the reliance on cash-grab mechanics for hints and skips.

It's not really worth the time when 9/10 things don't work or you need to pay for hints and skips, and when you don't have the in-game currency for it, you need to pay a lot of real money for an escape game.”

The game features a minimal story where players help a character named Mia escape from a school, but this narrative is largely inconsequential to the gameplay. Many reviewers note that the story is simplistic and lacks depth, with no meaningful interactions or choices, rendering it almost non-existent. Overall, while there is a basic objective, the story is not a focal point of the experience.
- “Story has never been a necessity in these 'dooooooors games,' but in this one there is a tiny narrative: you are helping Mia escape a school after being locked in.”
- “The storyline, while simple, provides a clear objective: help Mia escape from the school.”
- “No story to the game other than solve the puzzles.”
- “And while I realize it's not a story game, why is a student that's trying to escape the school going back and forth through the same 5 classrooms and fixing the plumbing or shooting free throws?”
- “As always, this story is completely unimportant and has no bearing on the gameplay.”

- “There are in-game purchases available, though I honestly don't see a need for them in my personal playthrough.”
- “And for the love of whatever you hold dear, if you're the kind of person that gets lured into making in-app purchases, avoid, avoid, avoid.”
- “Plays like one of those trendy phone games you see in ads that exist only to suck your wallet dry through microtransactions.”
