The gameplay has received criticism primarily due to its "drag and pull" movement mechanic, which many players find uncomfortable and disorienting, leading to a negative experience. Users express a desire for alternative movement options, such as teleportation, and suggest that the game could benefit from additional content and varied mechanics to enhance puzzle-solving elements.
- “Would love to see more; maybe the ending could lead to another planet or structure with different mechanics to solve puzzles?”
- “Until the movement mechanic is fixed, I will not even be able to attempt to play this game again.”
- “The 'drag and pull' movement mechanic is quite frankly horrible, and I could play no more than a minute before getting sick to my stomach and ripping off the goggles.”
- “This hasn't happened in any other VR experience I've tried so far, but most of them have used a 'teleport' mechanic rather than any form of real movement, so it may be that it's something I'll come across in other games too...”
