Gameplay is generally described as simplistic and dialogue-heavy, often overshadowing the actual mechanics. While some players appreciate the interesting puzzle elements and the sanity bar feature, many feel that the game lacks challenge and depth, making it more of a dialogue experience than an engaging gameplay one. Overall, the game is seen as enjoyable but not particularly unique or demanding.
“This game was really good; I liked the graphic style and the gameplay.”
“Gameplay mechanics are quite interesting, although it could be more challenging.”
“I particularly enjoyed the concept of a sanity bar that can affect gameplay.”
“Gameplay and plot are simplistic.”
“While the timer does stop for those lengthy phone calls, the dialogue is way too long-winded even for an RPG story game, and along with the protagonist's thoughts, were way too frequent, making this more of a dialogue clicking than gameplay itself given how short the real game was.”
“It's not very challenging to achieve an ending since the mechanics aid you rather than hinder your gameplay.”

The music in the game has received mixed feedback, with some players finding it repetitive and disruptive to immersion, particularly citing overuse of a specific Kevin MacLeod track. Others feel that complete silence might have been a more suitable choice for the game's atmosphere.
“Just that Kevin MacLeod song I've heard too much in my life kind of disrupted my immersion; complete silence would've been more fitting in my opinion.”
