Overall, players enjoyed the experience but noted a lack of replayability, as the game offers a unique experience that feels more like a one-time visit rather than something to revisit. While the absence of repetition adds to its charm, it limits the incentive to play again.
- “And there's value in something small without much replayability - nothing repeats, everything's unique, and if more or less the only time you play's the first time you play, it's a little like having a visit somewhere interesting, just the once.”
- “I had fun with it, but I sadly don't see much replay value.”
