The gameplay is generally praised for being fun and engaging, with solid mechanics and appealing graphics. However, some players find it repetitive and suggest improvements, such as more diverse maps and enemy mechanics, to enhance the experience. Overall, while the core gameplay loop is enjoyable, it may become monotonous over time without additional content.
“This game is probably the best $5 game ever; the graphics, the gameplay, and just the game itself are top tier.”
“This is an impressive game; the graphics are good and the gameplay is very fun.”
“Amazing game mechanics and very fun!”
“Not worth the price tag; wishlist the game and check for updates. There is only one map, a couple of options, and the gameplay loop is pretty boring.”
“The gameplay largely consisted of running around the map, huddling every ghost up, and holding the mouse button on the pile of ghosts for the next few minutes.”
“I think it's worth the price as of now just for the gameplay loop, but the early game is a slog and very tiring to get through.”

The game's stability is marred by several glitches, including issues with character movement, shooting responsiveness, and occasional lag, which can significantly hinder gameplay. Players have reported getting stuck on objects in the environment, further contributing to a frustrating experience.
“This game is good, but there are some glitches I have in mind. The most annoying glitch is the fact that you can get stuck on graves. I am on a computer, and when I try to move and shoot at the same time, I sometimes stop moving. Additionally, when I click the button to shoot, it does not always register, and I can't move most of the time. Oh, and the lag is a significant issue.”

The monetization approach of the game is viewed as potentially non-exploitative, but reviewers recommend waiting before purchasing to assess future improvements and developments.
