The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, who describe it as a "cheap cash grab" that relies heavily on intrusive ads and mandatory in-app purchases to progress. Many players express frustration over the overwhelming frequency of ads, which disrupt gameplay and often require payment to unlock additional content, leading to a perception of greed among developers. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for hints, the overall sentiment is that the balance between ads and paid content is poorly managed, detracting from the gaming experience.
“In-game purchases are essential to fully experience the game.”
“Either promote your game more effectively or charge players a flat fee of 2 pounds for the game without any in-app purchases.”
“It's $2.99 for all chapters with no ads, but I don't think it's worth it.”
“This app only serves to make people buy all the content after the first act, as if the developers don't already make enough money on the sheer amount of ads displayed in the game.”
“The fact that you need to pay even though the game has ads is just annoying.”
“Greedy developers make you watch ads and pay.”

Overall, the gameplay is described as visually appealing with decent mechanics, offering a mix of clever puzzles and frustrating moments that may require external guidance. While many players appreciate the art style and find the gameplay enjoyable, some criticize its linearity and the need for additional payments to access further content. The experience is generally fun, though opinions vary on the depth and challenge of the puzzles.
“The gameplay is smooth, the story starts off interesting, the graphics are pleasing, and the puzzles are fairly entertaining.”
“Great gameplay, difficult but not to the point of being frustrating; very challenging.”
“I enjoy the gameplay, also the amazing art style!”
“The gameplay varies between 'ingenious' and making you feel clever, and 'really??' after having to look up a guide.”
“It bypasses its official classification as a trojan due to its inclusion of simple, poorly thought out gameplay with less interactivity than most other escape games.”
“Only thing is the gameplay feels very linear, no looking around and getting info that may not matter (which is everything in a point n click), all doors are locked or unavailable (even a bathroom), everything is by the numbers.”
