The game has a unique, oddball charm and quirky atmosphere that some players find intriguing.
Core gameplay of spotting anomalies in a Soviet-era bus setting is simple but addictive and encourages replayability.
Developers actively engage the community by allowing players to contribute ideas and designs, and plan ongoing improvements in Early Access.

The game feels unfinished and rushed, with few anomalies that often repeat, leading to a lack of variety and depth.
There are numerous bugs and graphical glitches, including visual errors with the bus and character models, which break immersion.
The horror label is misleading as the game lacks scares, ambiance, and a satisfying ending, making the experience underwhelming for some players.
