The gameplay features intriguing mechanics and engaging characters, particularly Nipsy, which create a comforting yet suspenseful atmosphere. However, players have noted rough edges, including frustrating save point placements and bugs in chase sequences, though these issues are not game-breaking.
“There are some really interesting ideas and mechanics. Nipsy was a lot of fun to talk to, and it was oddly comforting whenever Nipsy or the other 'non-harmful' characters were around. Their intentions were often ambiguous, which was really clever. I felt comfortable but not completely safe; I still had my finger on shift ready to run.”
“The gameplay is rough around the edges, though. I got severely frustrated in certain areas, such as when a save area is placed right before a series of dialogue, requiring several trials and errors to avoid the enemy and skip the dialogue.”
