The gameplay has been widely criticized for its lack of depth and polish, featuring stock models and simplistic mechanics that lead to a frustrating experience. Players report unfair challenges, such as unexpected enemy spawns in poorly designed environments, and a complete absence of menu options for customization. Overall, the game is described as a cheap, poorly executed horror shooter with minimal content, often resulting in players feeling compelled to refund it shortly after purchase.
“Between the otherwise all-encompassing vacuum of sound, and the cyclical nature of the gameplay, I can only assume the dev was going for a 'recurring nightmare' motif.”
“Nice, now you saw full gameplay.”
“Cheap as a wannabe horror shooting game with like 15-20 minutes of gameplay.”
“So this is one of those Unity games with stock models, stock gameplay, and almost zero effort put into the game.”
“There are no in-depth options in the main menu such as video, gameplay, control bindings, or anything else.”
“With its horrendous graphics, clunky controls, oversimplistic gameplay mechanics, and flying skulls, the game is really reminiscent of the awful Raising Dead, an obscure FPS made in 2000.”

“They are true masters at combining the five key elements that go into every great short story: character, setting, conflict, plot, and theme.”

“There is no storyline whatsoever (unless you count the game's description on Steam as the storyline, which even the game fails to follow).”
“There is no story; simply you spawn and shoot, go forward and shoot, and go to the green light, and then it's the end of the game.”
