The gameplay is characterized by a point-and-click format that relies heavily on unconventional "moon logic" puzzles, creating a bizarre yet immersive experience. While the mechanics are innovative and visually captivating, some players find the trial-and-error nature more frustrating than enjoyable, despite the presence of a helpful hint system. Overall, the game combines classic elements with unique sensory interactions and engaging dialogue, making it a notable entry in the indie gaming scene.
- “The linear puzzles are deliberately weird moon logic that immerses the player into the bizarre biotechnological world rather than offer challenging gameplay, and the hint system makes sure you don't have to read the developer's mind when a needed interaction is just too obtuse.”
- “Classic gameplay, funny dialogue, intriguing world-building, and a unique vision; this game is short, sweet, and has it all!”
- “The point-and-click gameplay is built on moon logic.”
- “Yes, there’s a plot that connects everything together, and yes, there’s a play on classic point-and-click mechanics, but in a nutshell, it is a series of self-contained puzzle rooms that you need to deal with sequentially in order to proceed.”
- “Despite the myriad possibilities and innovative mechanics, I often felt more tested than entertained.”
