The story features a predictable plot involving a gas station attendant who is revealed to be a murderer, culminating in a confrontation with a deer-headed monster. While the atmosphere and some twists are appreciated, the lack of attention to detail and limited replayability due to only three endings detracts from the overall experience.

“The story feels disjointed and lacks a coherent flow.”
“Character development is shallow, making it hard to connect with anyone.”

The game offers limited replayability, primarily featuring two alternate endings that can be completed quickly, alongside a predictable plot. While some players find the low price point justifies replaying it despite its flaws, the overall lack of depth and attention to detail diminishes the incentive to revisit the game.
“There is no real attention to detail (could walk with the gas nozzle through solid walls), no real replayability except two other endings which can be completed as quickly as the good ending, and a plot that is pretty predictable: gas station attendant is actually the murderer, kidnaps you, you escape, turns out he's sacrificing people to some demonic entity (a deer-headed monster of some kind), deer-headed monster kills him, you get your car keys back, and you escape.”
“The game was about $3, definitely under $5, when I purchased it, and I think the replayability makes it worth it, even with the bug.”
