The gameplay is generally enjoyable with interesting mechanics, though it suffers from some movement issues and a lack of challenge, as players can easily avoid death by understanding the mechanics. The atmosphere is praised, but the horror elements feel diminished due to predictability and overused jamming mechanics. Overall, while the controls and interactions can be frustrating at times, players find the experience rewarding once they grasp the game's systems.
- “The atmosphere is terrific, and the gameplay is pretty fun aside from some movement hitches.”
- “Overall, nice small game, interesting mechanic.”
- “It took a few minutes to get the mechanics down, and after that I had a really good time with the computer.”
- “It's not even a skill challenge; you only die if you don't understand the mechanics (like that you don't have to keep walking while you're being attacked, and if you open your eyes, it's instant death).”
- “The drone controls give me a tremendously interesting view of the floor, the jamming mechanic is overused, and the horror is hard to feel when I know more or less exactly what I'm dealing with before I enter the same post-code as the monster.”
- “It took a few minutes to get the mechanics down, and after that, I had a really good time with the computer.”

The reviews present a mixed perspective on the game's atmosphere; while some players appreciate the overall ambiance and sound design, others criticize the drab color palette and lack of engaging elements, leading to a generally uninspiring atmosphere. Additionally, technical issues with gameplay mechanics, such as the rover's functionality, further detract from the immersive experience.
- “The atmosphere is terrific, and the gameplay is pretty fun aside from some movement hitches.”
- “The atmosphere and the ambience are nice; I had a few minutes of trouble figuring out what to do.”
- “The atmosphere is dreadful, but the rover can interact with local terminals, which is a nice mechanic.”
- “A game like this lives or dies on atmosphere, and the sound design along with the drab grey color palette fail to generate any real atmosphere.”
- “The atmosphere is dreadful; the rover is similar to the sub, but it has a camera that doesn't work at certain moments and has worse image quality than the picture taker. Additionally, the rover can interact with local terminals, which are needed to progress and is a nice mechanic.”

The graphics of the game have exceeded expectations for an indie title, showcasing impressive visuals that enhance the overall horror experience. Coupled with effective sound and music elements, the graphics contribute significantly to the game's atmosphere of fear and paranoia.

The story is criticized for being predictable and poorly executed, which diminishes the horror experience, as players often know what to expect from encounters. However, the exploration of the station adds a positive element to the overall narrative experience.
- “The story is exactly what I expected, and it's nice that you get to explore the station in person as well.”
- “The story is predictable and poorly delivered. The drone controls provide a tremendously interesting view of the floor, but the jamming mechanic is overused. The horror is hard to feel when I know more or less exactly what I'm dealing with before I enter the same area as the monster.”
