Additionally, a few reviews mention that the gameplay can be underwhelming despite the charm of certain elements, like the adorable rats.

    • “Great atmosphere, good scares, fun mechanics.”
    • “Gameplay is great; it's a bit like Dead by Daylight if it was good, proper spooky, and made me jump a lot.”
    • “I like the skill check mechanic - done better here than in most other games I've played with the same.”

    The story aspect of the game is praised for its intriguing lore and mission-driven narrative, which provides a solid foundation for future development. Reviewers express a desire for deeper exploration of the story and its evolution, appreciating the shift from a simple ghost-catching focus to a more engaging plot.

    • “I liked this game and the fact that you have a mission to complete, rather than just making the focus about catching or exorcising the ghost.”
    • “Second level interesting concept; I like that it leaned into the lore side of things a bit more. It would be interesting to see more of the story and how it develops - a good foundation for what this game could become!”

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game frustrating due to the repetitive nature of tasks, such as catching numerous rats and completing challenging air conditioning sequences. The difficulty spikes and lack of saved progress after failures lead to a tedious experience, making it feel like a chore rather than an engaging challenge.

    • “The game becomes increasingly difficult, and after each air conditioning unit, the challenge ramps up. If you get grabbed after the third unit, you're left with no saved progress and forced to redo everything. The constant need to catch countless rats, many of which respawn, makes the grinding feel tedious and frustrating.”
    • “The grinding aspect is overwhelming; after each air conditioning unit, the difficulty spikes. If you get caught after the third unit, you lose all your progress and have to start over. The sheer number of rats you need to catch is exhausting, especially since they keep respawning, making the repetitive tasks feel never-ending.”
    • “Grinding in this game is a chore. After each air conditioning unit, the difficulty increases, and if you get caught, you lose all your progress. The requirement to catch so many rats, which seem to respawn endlessly, adds to the frustration of having to redo tedious tasks.”
