The game excels in creating a tense and immersive atmosphere, effectively using sound design and environmental storytelling to enhance the psychological horror experience.
The narrative structure is strong, with non-linear storytelling and multiple endings that encourage exploration and replayability, allowing players to engage deeply with the mystery.
Players appreciate the grounded realism of the environments and the emotional depth of the story, which focuses on human vulnerability and the fear of the unknown rather than traditional horror tropes.

Some players experienced technical issues, such as bugs that caused them to get stuck or softlocked, which detracted from the overall experience.
The gameplay can feel linear and lacks meaningful consequences for player choices, leading to a sense of busywork that doesn't significantly impact the story.
The flashlight mechanics and visibility in dark areas were criticized, making it difficult for players to navigate and avoid threats effectively.
