The gameplay is praised for its creativity and strategic depth, featuring unique mechanics that vary across four distinct campaigns, each with different characters and enemy interactions. While the controls are easy to grasp and the art style is appealing, some players find certain mechanics, like the lantern system, confusing and the enemy placements occasionally random. Overall, the blend of strategic, puzzle-oriented, and reactionary elements creates an engaging experience, though the atmospheric consistency can sometimes falter.

- “From the simple premise of 'the enemy that hunts us is our weapon', the game develops different mechanics, from different characters and points of view.”
- “Cool arcade gameplay with horror aesthetics and 4 distinct campaigns (game modes).”
- “It's a little tough, and enemy placements can feel a bit random, but I don't feel like the underlying mechanics were in any way unfair or poorly designed.”
- “I could not beat the third one because the lantern mechanics are weird and confusing, but everything else was pretty well done.”
- “It's a bit difficult for the atmosphere to match the intense gameplay with the type of art direction this game takes.”
