- “The graphics look decent.”

The gameplay has received mixed feedback, with some players expressing dissatisfaction over abrupt changes in style, particularly during the cave section, which felt disconnected from the earlier house level. Additionally, the overall gameplay duration is perceived as very short, lasting only about 10 minutes, and players have encountered issues with mechanics related to photo usage and film availability.
- “I especially didn't like the cave part... it was something completely different from the house level, changing the gameplay style. I don't see the point of this weird design choice.”
- “The whole game is only 10 minutes of gameplay.”
- “I used my photos for testing mechanics and was unable to get new film.”

The game effectively creates a solid horror atmosphere, but the overly bright and white flashlight detracts from the experience, making it difficult to see items in the environment, especially in dark areas. This design choice can hinder exploration and immersion, as players often rely on the flashlight in a dark, electricity-less setting.
- “The game has a solid horror atmosphere that immerses you in its eerie environment, though the ultra-bright flashlight can sometimes detract from the experience, making it difficult to see items in the drawers when illuminated.”
- “The game has a solid horror atmosphere, but the ultra-bright and absolutely white flashlight often ruins the experience completely. You can't even see the items in the drawers if you come near them with the flashlight turned on, which you will many times since you wander in this house without electricity at night and it's impossible to explore without having the flashlight on.”
- “The atmosphere is supposed to be eerie and immersive, but the constant flickering lights and overly loud sound effects detract from the tension rather than enhance it.”
- “While the game aims for a chilling atmosphere, the repetitive sound design and lack of environmental variety make it feel stale and unengaging after a short while.”
