The gameplay is praised for its fun mechanics and innovative design, making it a standout in the VR genre, especially given its low price point. However, the experience is relatively short, lasting about an hour, and is limited to a small, well-crafted environment without extensive exploration. Overall, players find it enjoyable but not epic in scale.
“Fun mechanics and at a dollar it was a steal.”
“I've had a hard time finding VR games that actually provide fun gameplay, but this one is a real winner!”
“Gameplay is super fun.”
“While the small dark room in this game is well-designed, it is not exactly 'epic,' and exploration beyond the four walls is not part of the gameplay.”
