The gameplay is centered on exploration, survival, and stealth within maze-like environments, offering a tense and atmospheric cooperative horror experience. Mechanics are praised for being tight, inventive, and engaging, providing a challenging yet addictive loop, though some players note issues with optimization and fluctuating enjoyment over time.

The game’s humor shines brightest in co-op mode, blending dark comedy with chaotic, shared panic moments that turn scares into laughter.
