The game's story is a concise and engaging detective/demon hunter narrative reminiscent of 1990s graphical adventures, featuring well-written characters and an intriguing setting. While the plot is relatively short—approximately 45 minutes—players appreciate its humor, pixel art, and the depth of implied backstory, though some found the excessive swearing and meme references detracted from the overall atmosphere. Overall, the story shows promise and leaves players eager for future installments, despite some concerns about its pacing and immersive quality.
- “I liked the short storyline we got with Sawyer, who is begrudgingly exorcising demons again. I liked how it was written, there were some funny moments, I liked the art, and I liked looking around for clues and deducing what to do/what happened.”
- “Roughly 45 minutes in, and so far, this game has a really good story going on!”
- “Absolutely enjoyed my time with this one; the music, the art, and the story are all on point!”
- “I did think the meme references were a bit fourth wall breaking and maybe didn't help my immersion in the eerie worldbuilding of the story - a 'Steamed Hams' reference and 4chan talk aren't exactly conducive to the serious mood of the game, and maybe were a tiny bit off overall.”
- “I also think the 'about' section of the game is a bit misleading with 'four spine-chilling locations' being 2 technically, unless the alleyway is counted which is 3, and maybe counting the forum is a bit silly as a lot of it is just shitposting and filler memes which really took me out of the atmosphere of the game.”
- “Not a bad little time waster, just know that this isn't really a 'game' or a walking simulator per se, more like an on-rails story that has limited interactive features and a lot of dialogue.”

- “The writing is exceptionally good, the music is mesmerizing, and the graphics remind me of top-notch EGA titles of the 80s.”
- “The soundtrack is relaxing, yet atmospheric.”
- “The music doesn't fit the tone of the environments.”

The game's graphics evoke a nostalgic 1990s aesthetic, blending retro pixel art with modern storytelling elements. While some players appreciate the charming visuals and their alignment with the game's themes, others criticize the lack of character expression and the overall quality, suggesting that the graphics may not meet contemporary standards. Despite mixed opinions, many agree that the art style complements the engaging writing and music, creating an enjoyable experience.
- “The visuals are great too.”
- “Finally, the retro-esque art style looks quite appealing especially for this type of game.”
- “The pixel-art style and the scenario design settle a unique environment that makes investigation and inspection pretty fitting.”
- “It does try hard for a retro aesthetic, without considering that if we wanted to play video games from the 1990s we still can; we just don't, because gaming got better.”
- “This features really godawful pixel art instead of real graphics.”
- “It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to create 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”

The gameplay is characterized as simple and primarily involves clicking and making decisions, typical of visual novels, which may limit engagement for some players. While the gameplay is described as fun and rewarding, with a compelling story and beautiful art, there are suggestions for more interactive elements to enhance the experience. Overall, it serves well as a narrative-driven prologue, but some players hope for more depth in future titles.
- “The gameplay is simple enough to understand since it mostly involves clicking and making decisions - although, like any other visual novel, it involves a lot of reading.”
- “The music is great, the artwork is beautiful, the writing is fluid, and the gameplay is simple yet fun.”
- “The gameplay is fun, and the story is very compelling.”
- “Only downside aside from the length is the trivial gameplay, but it's clear this is more like a prologue or proof-of-concept.”
- “I guess as a visual novel it could work, but both the user interface and the gameplay setup go into the adventure direction, which requires some sort of interaction.”
- “The actual gameplay is your typical visual novel which is fine for telling a story.”

The game's atmosphere is a mixed bag, with some players feeling misled by the marketing regarding the number of locations, while others appreciate the immersive dialogue options and the effective use of sound design. The relaxing yet atmospheric soundtrack enhances the paranormal investigation theme, although some elements, like forum content, detract from the overall experience.
- “The soundtrack is relaxing, yet atmospheric.”
- “I also think the 'about' section of the game is a bit misleading with 'four spine-chilling locations' being 2 technically, unless the alleyway is counted which is 3. Counting the forum feels silly as a lot of it is just shitposting and filler memes, which really took me out of the atmosphere of the game. The serious forum parts were important to building up the girl's story, which played into her being passed into the afterlife by Sawyer.”
- “That means most of the game's appeal has to come from exploring the dialogue options and the sense of atmosphere around everything.”
- “The soundtrack and sound effects further help to create the paranormal/investigation atmosphere and always seem to fit the situation you are in.”
