The gameplay is characterized by a straightforward exploration mechanic where players search for keys to progress, set in a retro-style basement that some may find outdated. While it offers mindless scary fun, players express a desire for a save function to enhance the experience.
“Gameplay is simple: explore, find the key to the next door, and continue exploring. The basement itself is a bit too primitive and old-fashioned, but I guess we can call it retro. True horror fans would say, 'it's just a place to die.' So far, it's mindless scary fun, but I miss a save function!”
“Gameplay is simple: explore, find the key to the next door, explore... The basement itself is a bit too primitive and old-fashioned, but I guess we can say it's retro or something. True horror fans would say 'it's just a place to die...' - keep patching. So far it's mindless scary fun, but I miss a save function.”

“Cool game, takes 30 minutes or less to finish, at least on normal, pretty much optimized (sadly I can't say that about many AAA games nowadays).”
