The gameplay has been criticized for being boring and needing significant improvement, with specific issues highlighted in the map design and the possession mechanic, which many players find frustrating and unbalanced. Overall, the game suffers from a lack of engagement and player activity, contributing to a perception of it being a "dead game."
“It is a fun mechanic on paper, but one of the most frustrating things to face as a survivor, as you can be fighting Charlie with full health, then he just possesses and easily kills you by pressing a button on the keyboard.”
“The gameplay is boring; it needs work.”
“Two of the three maps in the game highlight the flaws in Charlie the Legend's basic gameplay, with tight corridors that are too easy to trap survivors in.”
“My biggest gripe with the game is the possession mechanic.”
