While some users express strong enjoyment and appreciation for the gameplay, others have noted inconsistencies, with a few describing it as "awful." Overall, the gameplay offers a mix of engaging elements that appeal to many players.
- “Besides being a hidden object murder investigation game, it stands out from the others like it because it also has a bunch of other games incorporated into the everyday gameplay.
