The game is widely criticized for its instability, being described as janky and filled with bugs, which detracts from the overall experience and discourages players from exploring further content.
“Put simply, this game is janky, buggy, and frankly, one of those games that does not value the player's time for you to want to find more endings.”
“A buggy mess”

The game features a blend of humor through clever easter eggs and entertaining minigames, such as watching funny fails on a computer within the game. However, some players feel that the humor is overshadowed by difficulty in progressing, limiting their overall experience.
“There's also a neat minigame on the console in your room, and you can watch funny fails on your computer.”

The story begins with a compelling backstory involving a character hiding from an abusive ex, setting a tense and emotional tone before the gameplay starts in their room. This introduction effectively establishes the stakes and context for the player's journey.
“You get some backstory in the beginning about hiding from an abusive ex, and then bam, you start the game in your room.”
