The story has been widely criticized for being poorly constructed and lacking coherence, with many players expressing a desire for a more engaging narrative rather than a focus on jump scares. While some appreciate the occasional cut scenes, the overall storytelling is deemed insufficient, leading to a disappointing conclusion that fails to elevate the experience.
“It would be a lot more enjoyable with more focus on the story instead of just the jump scares.”
“It can be alright if there is good lore or story in each room, but there isn't much other than the occasional small cutscene.”
“Jump scares were good throughout the game, but the ending was a bit lackluster compared to the game story.”
“The story is absolutely abysmal; the graphics are passable, but also extremely horrendous at the same time.”

The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with some players finding them passable while others describe them as horrendous. Notably, the performance varies significantly based on the graphics settings, affecting visibility and gameplay experience. Overall, while some aspects of the graphics are appreciated, they are inconsistent and can detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.
“The game handles very well, and the graphics look nice.”
“Edit: I played through a second time with the graphics on ultra, and the flashlight worked this time.”
“The story is absolutely abysmal; the graphics are passable, but also extremely horrendous at the same time.”
“Apparently, if you lower the graphics at all (even just to high), you'll no longer be able to see where you're going.”
“Graphics are assets; the house map is an asset, sound effects are okay, and the little girl's voice was good. However, the player moves at one speed and cannot run, which makes the gameplay feel sluggish.”
