The gameplay is praised for its engaging mechanics, particularly the innovative spirit box feature that allows players to interact with ghosts, enhancing the atmospheric experience. While the intuitive mechanics and puzzle-solving elements contribute to a satisfying playthrough, some players feel the game could benefit from additional mechanics and note that excessive walking can detract from the overall experience.
- “Nice spirit box mechanic and AI (you can ask the ghost almost anything; I literally asked the ghost what he thinks about Slipknot and BMTH, and it seems he digs them! Very cool feature). Sometimes it doesn't pick up every word, so you might have to repeat the question, but it's done very well.”
- “The game's strengths lie in its atmospheric setting and engaging gameplay, making it a worthwhile experience for fans of the genre.”
- “I managed to use the clues quickly and correctly solve everything on the first try, which added a sense of satisfaction to the gameplay.”
- “This one has nice ambient and visual design, but I want more game mechanics; it feels raw and empty.”
- “At times, there’s too much walking required, which can be frustrating and drag out the gameplay.”

The story aspect of the game is presented as a free-to-play mission from the full title "Bureau of Contacts," serving as an extended demo that allows players to experience a single-player mission. Players engage in a ghost-hunting narrative where they must identify the type of ghost and perform an exorcism, reminiscent of games like "Phasmophobia" and "Demonologist." However, some players find the pressure and horror elements challenging to handle.
- “If you have friends interested in this game (or are crazy enough to play solo), this is a great 'demo'/one mission game version where you can do the tutorial and play one map for free and then decide if you're going to drop, wishlist, or buy it!”
- “Like Phasmophobia, you have to figure out the type of ghost. Once you identify it, you can perform the exorcism. Instead of a side mission like in Demonologist, you get another part where you use the spirit box to gather information for the exorcism.”
- “It's a free-to-play mission from the full game 'Bureau of Contacts' for you to try out. Unlike the full game, this is single-player only, which is totally fine because it's like a free demo but better and longer.”
- “But, it's hard for me... I can't stand the pressure that the storyline and the jump scares put on me.”
