The gameplay is characterized by its simple yet frustrating mechanics, with sluggish controls that can detract from the overall experience. While some players appreciate the tension and unique monster interactions, others find the gameplay repetitive and lacking depth, often leading to feelings of annoyance rather than enjoyment. Despite its short length and limited mechanics, the game has garnered a mixed reception, with some players recommending it for its atmospheric qualities and potential for scares.
- “Its monsters are strange and grotesque, its environments are oppressive, and its mechanics force you to confront fear rather than sprint away from it.”
- “The gameplay is challenging; I'll give it that, but that makes the game seem more like a strategy game, and not a horror game.”
- “While obviously, there is some inspiration from the FNAF games, as well as Jim Henson's creations like Sesame Street, the atmosphere, gameplay mechanics, and difficulty of this game are completely unique.”
- “The controls are intentionally sluggish to heighten vulnerability, but they can sometimes feel more like mechanical obstacles than atmospheric tools.”
- “Horribly sloppy controls, no back button so if you walk past a hallway a little too much you could just die. Boring gameplay, ineffective jumpscares; I like the style and the idea, but it just isn't fun and it isn't executed well.”
- “The gameplay is simple, yet annoying at the same time.”
