The story is praised for its interesting and unique plot, effectively blending horror elements with engaging puzzles and gameplay. While some players found it a bit confusing and noted inconsistencies with voice acting and subtitles, the overall narrative experience kept them captivated, especially when played in a suspenseful setting. A sequel is in development, indicating a commitment to expanding the story further.
- “Overall, the story was interesting and unique enough to keep me interested.”
- “You walk through the game to discover the story, which is my absolute favorite.”
- “Horror games are not my thing, but I gave this one a chance. I think it's pretty good, has a little bit of everything: jumpscares, a decent story, some action. Although it is a bit rough, it is well done and it is appreciated that it has voice actors (doesn't always match the subtitles sadly).”
- “It was a bit confusing, but then again maybe I was missing pieces of the story.”
- “Spoiler alert: don't read further unless you want part of the story ruined for you.”

The gameplay is a surprising blend of horror mechanics and engaging storytelling, drawing players into a chilling atmosphere that keeps them on edge. Despite its indie appearance and low price, it effectively combines screamers and intense moments, making for a memorable experience that challenges players to confront their fears. However, the gun mechanics have been criticized as subpar, detracting from the overall experience.
- “I played during the nights, after work, with a headset... don't... just don't do that... this is a trick that you think it's just a usual indie game, and expect nothing from it, especially with a very cheap price, meanwhile you get deeper and deeper in the scary story and a very nice gameplay, and you see yourself looking at the monitor, trying to hold your scream...”
- “Mutilate your dog then blast that devil music to summon hippie punk zombie spam and trash FPS gun mechanics.”
- “Guys, I have played a lot of horror games, and also games that, at some point, have horror mechanics.”
- “So the game has a well-designed combination of core horror mechanics, screamers, and the scary atmosphere.”

The game's atmosphere is generally praised for its eerie and well-designed horror elements, effectively building tension through core mechanics and jump scares. However, the inclusion of combat, often accompanied by mismatched rock music, detracts from the overall dread, and some players feel that the focus on puzzle-solving undermines the immersive experience. While the atmosphere is solid, it lacks exceptional depth, particularly in the early stages of the game.
- “The game has a well-designed combination of core horror mechanics, screamers, and a scary atmosphere.”
- “The atmosphere is eerie, creating a sense of dread that builds over time.”
- “The atmosphere is pretty good for playing, enhancing the overall experience despite some focus on puzzle solving.”
- “It honestly could have done without the combat, especially when most of the combat in it was set to pretty awkwardly placed generic rock music which clashed with the slowly escalating dread atmosphere that it had spent most of an hour working towards.”

The music in the game has been criticized for being generic rock that clashes with the intended atmosphere, particularly during combat sequences. Reviewers feel that the awkward placement of the music detracts from the game's build-up of dread, suggesting that the combat elements could have been minimized to better align with the overall tone.
