Despite some technical bugs, the overall experience is described as fun and laugh-inducing, making it a recommended choice for those seeking a brief, humorous gaming experience.
- “So I was pleasantly surprised by the humor, how much fun pretending to eat drywall can actually be, and the hyperbolic depiction of how society has transformed in recent years.”
- “And the more I played it, the more I desired to eat the drywall not just because it's funny, but also because existence on Earth is madness and eating drywall is the only thing that will make me better.”

The story is described as phenomenal, but players are frustrated by a broken quest logger that hampers progress, making it difficult to complete missions and leading to numerous bugs. Despite the engaging narrative, the technical issues significantly detract from the overall experience.
- “Phenomenal story.”
- “Played until the final level and I annoyingly could not finish it as a problem that plagues the entire game is its broken quest system that's extremely buggy and won't work even after closing and opening the game again.”
- “The to-do list/quest logger does not work and is extremely easy to break when speaking to a quest giver.”
- “Level 3's quest logger is still broken and is now halting progress, even after a new save file. For example, the coffee quest guy was still there despite the computer saying he was gone, and the drywall behind him still doesn't have any indication you can interact with it.”

The graphics feature a unique and adorable art style that effectively conveys the theme of madness and decay, though some users find the pixelated visuals can be overwhelming, particularly for those sensitive to such effects. While the artistic approach is generally appreciated for its captivating premise, there are calls for accessibility options to accommodate photosensitive players.
- “Other than that, the premise is captivating and oddly therapeutic for those who've been thrown into the workforce. The snippets of music are fun and sometimes playfully infuriating, and the art style is unique and adorable.”
- “I actually quite like the art style. I love the concept of getting so mad with the state of the world that you just want to ram your head through walls and eat it, and I love the message that comes along with it.”

The game's stability remains a significant issue, with players reporting persistent bugs that hinder progress, particularly in later levels. While some patches have improved certain areas, critical problems, such as a broken quest system and unresponsive NPCs, continue to frustrate users, making it difficult to complete the game. Overall, the experience is marred by instability, requiring players to resort to trial and error to advance.
- “Played until the final level and I annoyingly could not finish it as a problem that plagues the entire game is its broken quest system that's extremely buggy and won't work even after closing and opening the game again.”
- “Spent 2-3 hours of this just wondering what I was even supposed to do because of it being in a stuck buggy state. I pretty much had to brute force it to get to the end, but even with that I couldn't complete it due to the dry wall never respawning, so I can't even talk to the NPCs needed to progress as the list of people you need to speak to won't even load.”
- “Update: I was able to finish the game with my original save file after the recent patch, but decided to play the game again just to test if things are working all around. Unfortunately, level 3 is even more buggy than last time and I can't get past it. Level 2 now works, however, which is great to see.”
