    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding the puzzles and mechanics, particularly the "blinds" feature, to be poorly integrated and lacking clarity. While the adaptation of "observation duty" into a 3D format is appreciated, many feel that the game does not live up to its predecessor, the original Confabulation, despite some enhancements. Overall, the graphics are praised, but the frustrating mechanics may deter players from completing the game.

    • “I really like how it adapted 'observation duty' gameplay into a 3D format like this.”
    • “Same formula as the original confabulation, with some additional gameplay mechanics.”
    • “All in all, still a good game but the original confabulation is way better despite the gameplay enhancements of this one.”
    • “There's something about the puzzles in this one that don't work, not in a mechanical sense but in an interconnected way.”
    • “Either the mechanic didn't need to be included or it needed a tuning pass to be threatening.”
    • “Graphics and the idea are overall great, but the downside that doesn't make me want to finish the game is unfortunately the 'mechanical' punishment which directly ends the game for no reason at some point.”
  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in both games is generally considered weak, with some reviewers noting that while the first game offers a more complete conclusion, it still lacks depth. However, the second game improves upon this with a better overarching narrative, multiple endings, and engaging puzzles that enhance the experience, despite some players feeling they may have missed elements due to only experiencing one ending. Overall, while not masterful, the storytelling shows potential for improvement.

    • “For Confabulation: Homestead, the overarching story, puzzles that take thought but aren't frustrating, plus additional fear elements made it even better.”
    • “The story is a bit lacking, although I only got one ending, so I might miss something here.”
    • “And although neither game is a master storyteller, the first at least had a conclusion that felt complete (even before the update that changed it from a suicide to a dream).”
    • “Its puzzles and observation duty with a better frame story, multiple endings, and improved puzzles.”
