The gameplay has evolved from the first game, introducing free-roam mechanics and distinct puppet behaviors that enhance the horror experience. However, many players find the gameplay repetitive after a few levels, with some expressing disappointment over its short length and limited variety in hiding spots. Overall, while the game offers thrilling moments and solid mechanics, it may not fully satisfy those seeking depth and complexity.
- “This game is a massive improvement from the first; the graphics are better, the puppets look more menacing, and the gameplay is fun yet terrifying.”
- “I love the mechanics of the hide spots and safe spots, I love that the lights change depending on what level you play, and I love the design of the house and monsters.”
- “The gameplay is unique and thrilling, and it is built in such a way that it really helps a lot to come up with strategies for each level.”
- “I always wanted to play this game since the time it was made, and playing it now after like 6 or 7 years, I'm just a little disappointed. It's really not a bad game, but not a good one. I feel like it feels more like 'loop gameplay' than the first game. In this game, across the 7 levels, I just got in the same three places I hid, and then won. Only in the 8th level did I have to change just a little, but it still felt the same thing over and over again.”
- “The gameplay is a loop of hiding from place to place until you fill a hide meter that spawns a purple orb.”
- “There's nothing wrong with the gameplay, but after a few levels, it gets repetitive and played out.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players noting significant improvements over the previous installment, highlighting better monster aesthetics and overall visuals. However, others criticize the graphics for being rough around the edges, experiencing bugs like clipping and frame rate drops, which detract from the experience. While some appreciate the artistic elements and find the graphics acceptable, others feel they fall short of expectations, particularly in terms of resolution and detail.
- “This game is a massive improvement from the first; the graphics are better, the puppets look more menacing, and the gameplay is both fun and terrifying.”
- “It is the right balance of scary and fun, with incredible artwork on the walls!”
- “Panic, dread, fear, and many more elements packed into this multi-level survival game with stunning graphics.”
- “The graphics look bad. I'm sorry, I know they tried their best, but oh my god, I feel like I'm walking inside a free Unity house model. The design itself is also a little bad. Also, I have no idea why, but the fur of the 'demons' looks horrible to me. I don't know if it's my PC or some update, but they are really bad looking. It's probably some glitch because of my PC, but I don't think it's something that hard to fix.”
- “The game's a bit buggy too when it comes to graphics sometimes, like a whole lot of clipping and FPS drops on the later levels (albeit slight ones) because of some kind of effect used by the game that makes you feel like you're drunk. I also encountered a few other miscellaneous bugs, like once I shut a door on my face accidentally and fell through the floor outside of the house, falling endlessly in a pitch-black abyss.”
- “I personally find the graphics to be a little low in resolution, but the gameplay, along with the clever mechanics, makes up for it.”
