    The gameplay is characterized as simple and bare-bones, featuring familiar objectives like shooting, exploring, and collecting across four distinct levels.

    • “Visually fun and nice calm gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay is bare bones, but it's certainly an interesting environment that doesn't overstay its welcome with the four levels' different mechanics.”
    • “What seems wonky and nonsensical eventually ends on a rather disturbing, cosmic horror-esque note, which I didn't expect but enjoyed as much as the bare-boned yet working gameplay mechanics in every level but can town.”

    • “For that reason, I'm also going to stray away from my opinions of the story since I think, given the type of experience it is, that kind of thing should be fully open to a player's interpretation.”
