The game is praised for its quirky humor and charm, blending elements of minesweeper, RPG, and visual novel cutscenes, with a notable presence of memes. Players find it entertaining, though some express frustration with the gameplay mechanics, particularly if they struggle with minesweeper. Additionally, there's a humorous inconsistency regarding the game's title, as the featured animal is a goose rather than a duck.

The story and dialogues in the game have received criticism for being unengaging or problematic, leading some players to feel uncomfortable discussing it openly. Despite this, the gameplay, particularly the minesweeper roguelike elements, remains a highlight for many.
- “I love this game for the minesweeper roguelike part, but I have a problem with the story and dialogues. I can only play when the wife and kids are asleep; otherwise, they'll probably ask me to go see a therapist.”
