Many reviewers enjoyed the unique and eerie atmosphere, though some wished for a longer, more developed narrative.

The monetization in the game is generally praised for being non-intrusive, with ads primarily optional and used for hints rather than interrupting gameplay. While some players found ads tolerable or appreciated the affordable ad-removal option, others noted that certain puzzles felt frustratingly difficult without watching multiple ads or paying to remove them. Overall, the balance between ads and gameplay is considered acceptable, though some issues with ad functionality and game resets were reported.
- “I recommend it, and because of how cheap the no ads option is, I would recommend you buy that as well.”
- “I recommend paying for no ads if you get stuck frequently; Deigo deserves it.”
- “Expect the ending and good storyline; it would have been better if the hints were vague and in the game itself, not ads.”
- “Hence, even if you were doing the right thing, you still couldn't progress and had to confirm your steps by watching ads, which is really annoying.”
- “Certain parts of the game felt impossible to figure out without the hints which forces you to watch ads or pay for removal.”
- “Every time I watch ads for hints it either tells me I didn't successfully watch an ad or it force resets the damn game.”
