The gameplay is praised for its creativity and depth, featuring four distinct campaigns that blend strategic, puzzle-oriented, and reactionary mechanics, each with unique character actions and enemy interactions. While the controls are easy to grasp and the art style is unique, some players find certain mechanics, like the lantern in the third campaign, confusing. Overall, the gameplay is engaging, though it can be challenging and occasionally feels random in enemy placements.
- “I was really pleasantly surprised by the creativity of the mechanics in this game.”
- “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 bit difficult for the atmosphere to match the intense gameplay with the type of art direction this game takes.”
- “I could not beat the third one because the lantern mechanics are weird and confusing, but everything else was pretty well done.”
- “Easy controls, unique art style, and simple mechanics; that's about it.”

The graphics of the game have received mixed to negative feedback, with many users criticizing the amateurish, low-quality art style reminiscent of MS Paint. While some appreciate the unique and surreal visuals that contribute to the game's atmosphere, the overall visual execution is seen as lacking, with no options for resolution or graphics customization available. This has led to a perception of poor visual quality that detracts from the gameplay experience.
- “It is original, small and dark, with its particular graphic style.”
- “Weird and surreal visuals and atmosphere, interesting concept of making your enemies kill each other instead of fighting directly.”
- “Cool arcade gameplay with horror aesthetics and 4 distinct campaign (game-modes).”
- “The artwork here is terrible, it's some of the most amateurish MS Paint style drawings (I won't deign to call these 'illustrations') I've ever seen.”
- “It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget to arrange someone who can do graphics properly, or lack of talent; regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result of these decisions.”
- “There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
