The gameplay is characterized by a short, linear experience reminiscent of "The Stanley Parable," featuring a sarcastically narrated story and limited interactivity, primarily involving walking and clicking. While the main playthrough lasts about 15-20 minutes, exploring all secrets and achievements requires multiple playthroughs. Some players appreciate the depth of character and atmosphere, particularly in vehicle and fighting mechanics, while others criticize the overall linearity and simplicity of the gameplay.
- “The atmosphere in the mansion is really tense, the characters are really built in depth for such a short game and the fighting mechanics are brilliant.”
- “The gameplay itself is very short, taking about 15-20 minutes, but getting all the achievements and finding all the secrets will take a fair bit longer and at least a couple (or more) playthroughs.”
- “The gameplay is a fair bit more linear than The Stanley Parable, as there is only one potential ending here which you will eventually reach regardless of what you do, but there is still a fair bit to interact with in your environment and several ways to defy and aggravate the narrator for a time.”
- “Also like The Stanley Parable, gameplay is limited to walking around and clicking on things as you obey (or disobey) the narrator.”

The game's optimization is notably effective due to the limited visual elements presented at any given time and the confined environments, allowing developers to implement significant performance enhancements.
