The gameplay is characterized by a mix of unique enemy mechanics that create unpredictable and intense survival scenarios, keeping players engaged and on edge. However, the initial lack of enemies in the first night fails to effectively introduce the mechanics, and some players find the gameplay frustrating, particularly when facing multiple dolls at once. Overall, while the visuals and audio are simplistic, the focus on gameplay is appreciated and contributes to the horror experience.
- “The story may be simple, but it serves as a backdrop to the intense survival gameplay.”

- “The environments are reminiscent of games like 'Escape the Backrooms', and though more detail could have helped with immersion, the simplicity allows you to focus on the gameplay.”

However, there is optimism for future updates and fixes to improve stability.
