Overall, while players enjoyed the experience, many noted a lack of replayability, suggesting that the game feels more like a one-time visit to an interesting place rather than an experience worth revisiting. The uniqueness of each playthrough is appreciated, but it ultimately limits the game's long-term engagement.
“There's value in something small without much replayability - nothing repeats, everything's unique. If the only time you play is the first time, it's a little like having a visit somewhere interesting, just the once.”
“Overall, I had fun with it, but I sadly don't see much replay value.”

The graphics have received mixed feedback, with some users noting that the game defaults to a very dark interior, making it difficult to appreciate the visuals, which contrast with the brighter screenshots. Overall, the graphics are considered subpar by some players.
“I actually wasn't able to see a lot of the graphics because the game defaults to a very, very dark interior (on the Vive) despite the screenshots showing a much brighter and more visible room.”
“The graphics are not the best.”
