- “The cut-scenes tell a compelling story.”

The gameplay is noted for its unique and innovative mechanics, particularly the shadow world feature, which adds depth and challenge. However, some players find the experience slow and frustrating due to limited checkpoints, punishing fall damage, and control issues, especially with certain mechanics like swinging. Despite these drawbacks, the gameplay is generally smooth and rewarding, with anticipation for improvements and more complex puzzles in future releases.
- “I like the uniqueness of gameplay mechanics and the ambient sound.”
- “Other than that I love the visuals and the style, I love the simple yet innovative gameplay mechanics and I cannot wait to see where the story leads!”
- “The gameplay is smooth and very gratifying once you get a puzzle done.”
- “In terms of gameplay, I felt there were really few checkpoints, and that plus the fact that the fall damage is insane makes it a little frustrating because even when there is no difficulty in some parts, you end up repeating the same part 3-4 times just because you die to the smallest cliff.”
- “Game just really slow (gameplay wise).”
- “The swing mechanic was awful as well.”
