The gameplay primarily revolves around a scavenger hunt for items and locations, with an additional mode that simply showcases well-framed visuals without interactive elements. While the game features simple mechanics and a charming aesthetic, it is still in early development, resulting in limited content and some glitches; however, players express enjoyment and anticipation for future updates.
“This game has a unique charm to its simplicity and easy mechanics. For an early build of the game, it's really good, but it has its glitches and is only a short amount of content, which is understandable. I can tell there's a lot of work put into this game, and the payoff looks like it was worth it. It was fun playing it, and I'll absolutely play more when more is released.”
“The only gameplay is a scavenger hunt for a few items and locations.”
“There's also a mode which removes the gameplay and just switches the camera between some particularly well-framed shots, like a sort of screensaver.”
“This game has a unique charm to its simplicity and easy mechanics, but it has its glitches and only a short amount of content, which is understandable for an early build.”
