The story revolves around a simple premise where the player must find their runaway dog in a witch's creepy house, culminating in a confrontation with the witch. While some find the narrative intriguing, it is criticized for its lack of depth and reliance on basic gameplay mechanics, resembling more of a walking simulator than a puzzle-driven experience. Overall, the execution suffers from technical flaws that detract from the storytelling.
“The story is interesting enough but again, there are way too many flaws like going through objects, boxes disappearing, etc. Really awesome effort and I wanted to give this a thumbs up, but as you can see in the YouTube video I will share with you and everybody else my raw experience.”
“The story was basic; your dog runs away, you have to go find it in a creepy house owned by a witch while trying not to die, and then you have to kill her and escape.”
“No real puzzles, mainly a walking simulator with a dark story.”

Gameplay primarily revolves around stealth mechanics, where players must hide from a scripted monster while exploring the environment to collect six books needed to defeat a witch. The experience is characterized by a mix of tension and exploration, but it may feel repetitive due to the linear objectives.
“The gameplay involves hiding in cupboards to let a monster go by on his very scripted route, then exploring the rest of the building you're in.”
“The gameplay is just trying to find 6 books so you defeat the witch and save the day.”
