    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising its unique art style reminiscent of Tim Burton's work and character customization options. However, some players criticize the overall quality, describing it as "crummy" and lacking modern features like RTX support, which detracts from their experience. Overall, while the artistic direction appeals to some, it may not resonate with all players, particularly those seeking high-end graphical fidelity.

    • “I just wanted to say how much I really liked this game; the character customization is really dope, and the art style of the game looks unique!”
    • “I love the art style of the game; it reminds me of Tim Burton's work, so that's a huge plus.”
    • “The art style is fantastic, but I appreciate it might not be everyone's taste in a horror game.”
    • “The original Escape the Ayuowoki was terrifying, but this game is like a cartoon. The music is lame, and it's stuck in a third-person perspective with an ugly art style reminiscent of Sea of Thieves. What were the creators thinking making this game?”
    • “The graphics of this game are crummy and cannot even run RTX. How am I supposed to get shaders on this game? I need to run RTX on every single game I play, and every game has RTX, which allows me to play with shaders. I simply cannot play a game without RTX.”
    • “The art style and concept, which are shared by other games of this kind, are the biggest draw, but they still fall short of expectations.”
  • stability7 mentions

    The game currently suffers from significant stability issues, with numerous bugs and glitches reported by players.

  • gameplay4 mentions

Others appreciate the blend of classic elements and new features, deeming the game a worthwhile purchase despite its multiplayer feel. Overall, the gameplay is seen as a mix of nostalgia and innovation, but opinions vary significantly on its execution.

    • “Overall, I think it's a very good game; it conserves aspects from the original games, as well as new mechanics, and it's totally a worthwhile buy! 👍”
    • “One final thing I'll say (as I appreciate this review is getting rather long) is that it does feel like a single-player game with a multiplayer mechanic.”
    • “This alone makes the game unplayable; the devs just need to have the mechanics from the previous game, and it would probably make this playable.”
    • “One final thing I'll say (as I appreciate this review is getting rather long) is that it does feel like a single-player game with a multiplayer mechanic.”
    • “I honestly think you need to stick to the original game and mechanics; otherwise, the game reviews will stay mostly negative.”

Overall, opinions on the music vary widely, with some appreciating its nostalgic qualities while others find it lacking.

    • “I'd describe it as a cross between World of Warcraft's visual style and an enchanted Disney castle with its cartoony feel, and with its cheesy classic horror soundtrack it is a bit of a cliched setting, but that's not an insult, I love it.”
    • “Love the artwork and music.”
    • “The original Escape the Ayuowoki was terrifying, but this game is like a cartoon and the music is lame. It's stuck in a third-person perspective with an ugly art style. What were the creators thinking making this game? I feel like I wasted 8 dollars.”
