The gameplay is generally described as enjoyable and straightforward, featuring a unique sight mechanic that adds a twist to the experience. However, players have noted a lack of checkpoints, particularly when entering the maze, which can be frustrating. Overall, it offers a fun and brief creepy atmosphere reminiscent of Slenderman games.
- “As for the gameplay, it was a nice, simple game, but I do feel there could be a few more checkpoints, such as when you enter the maze, rather than starting from the beginning of entering the abyss.”
