Engaging puzzles that are satisfying to solve and tie into the main story.
Good ambiance with fitting music and ambient sounds that create a sense of dread without unnecessary jump scares.
Enemies do not insta-kill, allowing for some strategic gameplay.

Enemy AI is frustrating, with a constantly patrolling enemy that makes puzzle-solving stressful and requires luck to avoid.
Lack of healing or health recovery options, which can be confusing and annoying as the player remains in low health for most of the game.
Performance issues such as frame drops and stutters, and some minor design flaws like long intro scenes and inconsistent setting details.
