Players have reported issues with the game following the last patch, specifically experiencing a black screen accompanied by background music and creepy sound effects. While the music itself is noted, the overall gameplay experience is hindered by technical problems that prevent players from engaging with the game properly.
“+creepy sound and music”
“Here is what happened after the last patch... I started the game and all I got was a black screen and background music (program not responding), so after a few tries I finally got it closed by force.”
“So I started a new game; there are 3 game modes and 2 of them didn't do anything after I selected characters and clicked start. I tried the 3rd mode, and it let me click start, but all I got was a black screen. The game doesn't crash; it just gives me a black screen and background music after a few minutes.”

The monetization strategy of this game has been heavily criticized by users, who label it a "cash grab" and express frustration over repeated instances of perceived exploitation, particularly following previous crowdfunding efforts. Many recommend avoiding the title until the developers address these concerns, though skepticism remains about their willingness to engage.
“No clue why this cash grab is still on Steam.”
“Seems like they've done a cash grab again. This is the second time they got me; first on Kickstarter, now on Steam. I blame myself. Stay clear of this title, at least until they respond. I doubt they will, though; they have done this before.”
