The story is intriguing and encourages player imagination, but it lacks clarity and depth, particularly in guiding gameplay. Players face challenges with checkpoint-based saving, which can lead to frustration if achievements are missed, as it requires restarting the entire game. Improvements in sound design and narrative structure could enhance the overall experience.
“The story itself was really interesting, and since it relies on the player's imagination to fill in a lot of the details, it's really up to the player to visualize what may be going on.”
“The storyline really doesn't help in avoiding obstacles and guards/traps, which makes the gameplay frustrating.”
“The saving functions work solely on checkpoints in the storyline, which can be quite limiting.”
“If you miss an achievement and reach the next checkpoint, you must restart the entire game and storyline again, which is incredibly tedious.”

The graphics have been widely criticized, with users reporting that they are either non-functional or extremely poor, leaving only the menu screen visually present. Despite a promising premise, the lack of effective graphics significantly detracts from the overall experience.
“The premise of the game is good and feels unique (especially considering it has no graphics beyond the menu screen).”
“Terrible graphics, I couldn't get them to work at all.”
