The gameplay is currently limited, featuring a basic warehouse level with primitive platforming and stealth mechanics, which some players find unpolished and reminiscent of older games. However, the unique game mechanics and appealing 2.5D visuals have garnered positive feedback, with players expressing hope for future updates to enhance the experience. Overall, while the current content is minimal and somewhat repetitive, there is potential for improvement as the game develops.
“Amazing game mechanics - the most unique game I've ever owned.”
“This game is good looking with its 2.5D style, and great stealth gameplay. I wouldn't put it in the hard category, but hopefully that will change in the full release. I actually had fun playing it for the short time it provided me, and I will play this more as they add content.”
“The little gameplay there currently is is fun, so hopefully one day this will be finished and I can change this back to a positive review, assuming the rest of the game is fun too.”
“You only get a short, primitive warehouse level with unpolished platforming and stealth gameplay, featuring only two lanes of movement.”
“Procedurally generated boring maze; gameplay feels like it's from the end of the 80s.”

The story aspect of the game is perceived as a reflection of the challenges faced by indie developers, highlighting a narrative of struggle and underfunding rather than a lack of effort or integrity.
“I don't think it was a case of the developers grabbing money and running; it's more like another sad story of an indie game not getting enough funding due to a lack of exposure.”

“The soundtrack is repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged.”
