The graphics are generally praised for their realism and effective contribution to an immersive, chilling experience, though some users note that the game is somewhat GPU-intensive despite its simplicity and that brightness levels may be too intense for some players.

Grinding in the game can be tedious, as players must repeatedly encounter random anomalies and red rooms to complete achievements. There is no system to prioritize or limit these to missing ones after finishing the game, leading to frustrating, repetitive gameplay.
- “It would be better if you prioritize the anomalies and red rooms that haven't been completed. It's a little tedious trying to get a specific red room to appear to get all achievements.”
- “The anomalies are also completely random even after you complete the game once. So if you're missing a couple to get the achievement, you have to just grind it out which is tedious. Good anomaly games have a way to limit anomalies to just the ones you're missing once you've beaten the game once.”
