The story features a predictable plot involving a gas station attendant who is revealed as a murderer, culminating in a confrontation with a demonic entity. While the atmosphere and some twists are appreciated, the lack of attention to detail and limited replayability due to the quick completion of alternate endings detracts from the overall experience. Despite having three endings, the narrative feels rushed and ultimately unsatisfying.
- “I loved the atmosphere and the twists that came with the story!”
- “The story has 3 endings, so it has replayability.”
- “And just when the twist in the story seems to be getting really interesting, you'll be done.”

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 the game despite its flaws, the lack of depth and attention to detail diminishes the overall experience.
- “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: the 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), the 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.”
