The gameplay is generally praised for being enjoyable, relaxing, and easy to engage with, offering a gradual increase in difficulty that keeps it fun. Players appreciate the minimalistic design and addictive nature, likening it to a more forgiving version of Frostpunk, though some express a desire for more realistic mechanics in certain aspects. Overall, the game provides a satisfying experience with optional ads that do not disrupt the core gameplay.
- “This game is pretty good; it might have its downfalls, but it's still fun. You unlock everything very easily, and it is relaxing and enjoyable.

- “Love the game; it has fantastic atmosphere, and the gameplay and navigation are also pretty nice and simplistic.”
- “Ads for resources at the bottom can be missed; the print is so tiny when you are focusing on gameplay.”
- “A nice, more forgiving version of Frostpunk, but one thing that puts me off is that the hunters of the hunter cabin should look for a herd of animals (like 3 or 5 deer or boars, rabbits, etc.) and shoot at them with bows or guns, rather than just standing behind a random tree and having meat magically appear in their hands.”
- “Minimalistic Frostpunk clone with basic idle building core gameplay.”

The monetization model of the game includes subscription options for purchasing diamonds and ad removal, which some players find excessive, especially with a monthly fee of €36 for premium features.

- “If you consider buying diamonds or skipping ads, it requires you to subscribe weekly or monthly and not as a one-time purchase.”
- “Ads for resources at the bottom can be missed because the print is so tiny when you are focusing on gameplay.”

The music and the snow blowing continue, but I can't leave the zoomed map, which is only a white island. Quite annoying. Other than that, so far so good, but I can't play it because of the coal man right now. Please fix that, thank you.”
