The story is generally viewed as enjoyable and engaging, with a mix of cute elements and intriguing premises, such as a rookie agent's mission in a retro-inspired setting.

- “While the premise is intriguing, the narrative is somewhat minimal, relying more on environmental storytelling.”
- “Players who enjoy piecing together lore will appreciate the scattered logs and cryptic hints, but those looking for a deep, driven plot might find it lacking.”

grinding

Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, often feeling lost and aimlessly wandering for extended periods. Many suggest the need for a hint system to provide clearer direction and reduce the tedium associated with grinding, while also acknowledging the retro design choices that contribute to the overall experience.
- “My biggest criticism so far would have to be the fact that I found myself wandering aimlessly and lost for about an hour, grinding along the way.”
- “I would like to see some sort of hint system that would provide a more direct push in the appropriate direction. If the player does not know where to go, they could press a button to receive a textbox with a more direct hint, like, 'You've acquired the level 2 key; keep an eye out for areas locked behind level 2 doors where you couldn't access before in [area name].' This would make using the radio more interesting and less tedious.”
- “Everything stuck to essentially 4 buttons and a d-pad was a bit tedious, but I understand the intention of going for a retro feel.”

stability

Overall, the game is considered very stable with minimal bugs or glitches; however, players have reported a rare instance of semi-softlocking, which can be resolved by reverting to a previous save. Fortunately, the game includes a backup save feature that prevents permanent loss of progress.
- “While in general the game is very stable with little to no bugs and unintended glitches, I still managed to get myself semi-softlocked once, having to resort to reverting to a saved state. If not collecting the 'o' power as soon as the opportunity arises, one can proceed and get into a room with no way out. Thankfully, there is no way to save this broken game state, and even if there was one, the game conveniently keeps a backup of a few previous saves.”
- “The game crashes frequently during key moments, which can be incredibly frustrating. I lost progress multiple times because of this instability.”
- “I experienced several instances where the game would freeze, forcing me to restart my console. This really detracted from the overall experience.”
