While some find humor in the glitches, the overall consensus is that the game requires significant stability enhancements to provide a smoother experience.

    • “It's a good game, but it's kind of short. The second and third games are much longer, and there are no glitches. It was worth it for this game.”
    • “Every time I get on the game, it won't show me any of the buttons to play or quit. I gave it a one-star because my pieces glitch, and it's so bad. Can you please make the game better for cricket phones?”
    • “I was in the loading screen, then it just freezes and takes me out of the game. Every single time I try to join, it either kicks me out or shows a black screen. Please fix this!”
    • “This game is terrible; there are too many bugs and glitches. This is a rip-off, don't download it, please.”
  • gameplay38 mentions

While some players appreciated certain unique features and moments, the overall experience is marred by technical problems and a perceived lack of originality, leading to a consensus that the game is not enjoyable or worth the time investment. Additionally, frequent crashes and frustrating sensitivity settings further detract from the gameplay experience.

    • “The camera is wonky but gameplay is fun.”
    • “The drone mechanic is very interesting and Opila Bird was very scary!”
    • “Epic gameplay!”
    • “The gameplay loop was pretty boring; I could not for the life of me stay invested to get even halfway through.”
    • “This game has such horrid and disgusting controls that made the horror/gameplay unbearable.”
    • “The sensitivity is horrible and it completely ruins the gameplay; nothing more needs to be said here.”
  • story30 mentions

    The game's story is generally praised for its emotional depth and engaging narrative, with many players appreciating the character arcs and innovative elements. However, some users find the storyline to be short or unclear, and there are complaints about gameplay issues that detract from the overall experience. Overall, while the story is a highlight, its impact is sometimes diminished by technical problems and gameplay mechanics.

    • “I would like to say that this game has a good storyline and graphics.”
    • “Hearing Jumbo Josh's story about how he got trapped in the Garten made me tear up, but the best, most moving moment was definitely when, despite falling to her death, Opila Bird still managed to say 'bird up' one last time.”
    • “The story feels innovative, but my only complaint is that it's short.”
    • “Game is broken once it starts up; nothing shows up, just the wall. Didn't even get to play. Waste of storage. I've seen other videos on this horror game that didn't even have work put into it. It's very short and not that worthwhile. It's like all the other horror games but worse graphics and no storyline. If you want a real horror game to play on mobile, Ice Scream or something is definitely better. Horrible experience; I didn't even get to experience anything. 1/10 for me.”
    • “The only thing is I don't get the story.”
    • “It's like a knockoff of a bootleg of a bootleg non-scary horror game. They didn't copy Five Nights at Freddy's or Poppy Playtime; they copied fifteen nitwit and Filipinos, and puppy plot minute, and did everything wrong. It's not one star; it's 0/10. Nothing was done right.”
  • monetization26 mentions

    The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with players noting that while ads are present, they are primarily cosmetic and not overly intrusive. However, many users have reported frustrating bugs related to ad rewards, such as not receiving items after watching the required number of ads, leading to dissatisfaction with the system. Overall, while some players appreciate the lack of forced ads, the inconsistencies in reward mechanics have negatively impacted the experience for many.

    • “It was fun and I love playing it, but if it had no ads, it would be better.”
    • “Not only does it have ads that practically cover the entire screen!”
    • “Fix the ads now I can't get all rewards because I keep getting double ads, then it will say 5 out of 4 ads watched and won't give me my rewards no matter how many I watch.”
    • “Bro, I watched 4 out of 2 ads and I don't get one of the colors. I mean, I watched 5 out of 4 ads for a hat and I don't get it. I can still play the game normally, but I can't get a hat or color. Fix the ad issue.”

    • “This game is terribly optimized, runs horribly and you can only really play it on PC, and I've tried but I couldn't get any further without it crashing to the ground and bursting into flames. This game shouldn't be anywhere near the Google App Store.”
    • “Poorly made for mobile; the UI controller looks like it was downloaded from a PNG website. When you move the camera, it's slow, and the resolution is not optimized well, which means if you get high settings, the game starts lagging.”
