  • graphics
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics have received mixed reviews, with many players expressing disappointment over the disconnect between the game's visuals and the polished trailer. Critics describe the artwork as overly generic and reminiscent of AI generation, lacking coherence with the game engine, while some appreciate the attempts to individualize elements. Overall, the visuals are seen as decent but fall short of expectations, with noticeable errors detracting from the experience.

    • “The art style complements the game’s theme, and players can easily become immersed in solving puzzles.”
    • “The graphics were decent, but I really wanted so much more out of this.”
    • “Some players might prefer handcrafted visuals.”
    • “The trailer's visuals are not in the game and should be seen as a representation of, I imagine, Midnight Games' attempt to make this sub-par FPS with chase gameplay more appealing to general audiences.”
    • “The artwork looks overly generic, reeks of AI generation, and while there are attempts to individualize (like photoshopping in game-related elements), these visuals show zero connection to the game engine visuals, and thus feel disconnected from everything else.”
    • “The voice-overs have that stiff robotic sound, and the 'artwork' is riddled with errors like seven fingers on a hand and ears that aren't filled in correctly.”
  • story
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is criticized for being confusing and underdeveloped, with a basic premise involving a protagonist fixing their grandfather's mistakes. Players feel that while the beginning and end of the story show potential, the lack of meaningful interactions and narrative depth throughout the gameplay detracts from the overall experience. Many believe that with more investment in storytelling, the game could have transformed into a compelling chapter-based adventure.

    • “Hidden within the map, on notes, a more fleshed-out story, and more interactions with the antagonist.”
    • “The whole story and concept could actually be really good and be a chapter-based mascot game if only they would've put more time and money into it.”
    • “[b] Confusing story: [/b] Although the story begins decently, you’re suddenly plopped into a massive puzzle-filled factory without further narration until the game’s conclusion.”
    • “The story is very basic; your grandpa made mistakes, and for some reason, it's up to you to fix things. We only get one interaction with the hero and the villain, where they talk about their ideologies, and it just falls flat.”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is described as mediocre, with chase mechanics that feel more suited for confined spaces rather than expansive environments, leading to a frustrating experience. Additionally, the promotional trailer does not accurately represent the actual gameplay, which has been criticized for its sub-par execution.

    • “The actual gameplay is okay, but the chase enemies seem like they would be better suited in hallways rather than big open areas where they hone in like a missile.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with users reporting frequent glitches that detract from the overall experience. Many players found the glitches so disruptive that they were unable to continue playing beyond a short period.

    • “The game was a little glitchy, and I found myself having to out-glitch the glitches.”
    • “I made it about 15 minutes in before the glitches and overall vibe of the game really put me off.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users feel that the game's optimization is lacking, particularly in relation to its cost, suggesting that the performance does not justify the price.

    • “But it's too expensive for the content and performance.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy has been criticized as a cash grab, with users noting that the AI-generated art contributes to a perception of low effort and quality in the game's design.

    • “The art is obviously AI-generated; it looks like this was an attempt at a cash grab in the horror mascot genre.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game, particularly in the cake department, to be somewhat tedious and repetitive.

  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's music has been noted for containing tracks that are flagged for copyright on platforms like YouTube and Twitch, which may pose issues for content creators.

    • “The game uses music that is flagged for copyright on YouTube and Twitch.”
