    The gameplay’s innovative voice-recognition mechanic offers a fresh, cooperative experience that encourages teamwork, strategic communication, and humor, enhancing replay value across varied modes. However, frequent technical issues with speech accuracy, bugs, and a steep learning curve can disrupt flow and frustrate players, making the experience feel somewhat unpolished despite its strong core concept. Overall, the game shines with its unique idea but needs refinements to fully realize its potential.

    • “This innovative blend of voice recognition and cooperative gameplay encourages teams to develop unconventional strategies while creating plenty of humorous situations that naturally emerge from the game's unusual rules.”
    • “Its combination of procedural exploration, creative monster mechanics, varied game modes, and cooperative problem-solving gives it excellent replay value for groups looking for something different from traditional horror titles.”
    • “You defeat monsters by speaking the correct phrases, everyone gets cursed words they must avoid saying, and many mechanics depend on what your team says.”
    • “The spell mechanic gets old when in some situations you have to repeat the spells multiple times for them to take effect, most notably when killing a monster.”
    • “Game mechanics are explained very poorly, no clue what we were meant to do.”
    • “The gameplay premise is a strong one, and I can see the vision behind what the dev is going for here; however, I cannot recommend this game in its current state. The speech recognition is sub-par (having to repeat words over and over), the map feels rather large but lacks interesting collectibles (mostly just coins), and my friends and I agree the game would be more enjoyable if we were given both books and the clock for free at the beginning of each round, as these items are borderline required for progression.”

    The game is notably buggy and poorly optimized, with frequent crashes, connection issues, and problematic voice recognition that hamper the experience. While it shows promising potential and can be fun, especially in co-op, persistent technical issues—particularly with voice chat—make it difficult to recommend until significant stability improvements are made.

    • “Very poorly optimized and the game is incredibly buggy.”
    • “Bad mechanics, buggy game, my cousin's computer kept crashing whenever we would open the portal. The bugs and constant crashes forced me to refund.”
    • “I cannot recommend this game until they fix the issue where other players cannot hear a specific player speaking. We attempted all the troubleshooting provided in the Discord FAQ and mic error pages to no avail. While the player with the issue can play the game, none of us other players could hear them in game whatsoever. This in turn makes game modes like the traitor mode unplayable for them and coop a worse experience. Besides this, the game is a lot of fun when it works. It is great and enjoyable; we played through the demo with the same issue arising but tried to work through it as it was the demo. However, the issue is still prevalent in the paid release. Until a fix for this bug that is successful works, I cannot recommend the game.”

    Users criticize the graphics for being low quality and limited to 1080p resolution, with some finding the art style visually uncomfortable or causing motion sickness. Additionally, the maps lack distinctiveness beyond their basic aesthetics.

    • “Even the different maps themselves didn't have anything unique going for them other than the aesthetics.”
    • “And the graphics are horrible; my little brother could do better, and he is still in the womb.”
    • “Only supports up to 1080p at the moment, and something about the art style for the graphics makes me motion sick.”
    • “I have done this in the past with multiple Steam games, and with my AMD6900 XT graphics, I'm shocked that I had this issue.”
  • optimization

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    • “Needs some optimization improvements and more content, but overall fun with friends.”
    • “Network performance: 0 out of 10”
