The gameplay has been widely criticized for its poor execution, featuring a cluttered UI, tedious audio, and a lack of engaging mechanics. Players find the exploration aspect limited due to a restricted field of view, and the overall experience is described as buggy and simplistic, leaving little room for depth or interest. Despite potential for improvement, many remain skeptical about the game's future development and its ability to enhance gameplay.
- “It has some kind of an exploration aspect to it, but your field of view is 3x3 squares when the whole screen gameplay area is around 14x10 and rooms can be large.”
- “It's very barebones and simplistic, and while I suppose it might be possible that their development plan calls for them to first get the basics of moving around and fighting working before working on depth and more intricate mechanics, I am skeptical.”
- “Not just because it seems they're having such a hard time getting the basics to work, but also because there seems to be little in the way of underlying structure on which to build such mechanics or achieve depth.”
- “The gameplay is buggy and the graphics are poor.”
- “Unless I'm missing something really obvious, the UI is a non-interactive mess and the gameplay is mediocre at best.”
- “Worse still, even setting aside such brokenness, the underlying game mechanics exposed by the game leave a lot to be desired - in its current state, the game just isn't very interesting.”
