The gameplay is highly praised for its innovative mechanics, particularly the ricochet system that encourages creative shooting strategies. Each boss features unique mechanics that keep encounters fresh and engaging, with a standout duel mechanic that adds excitement. Overall, the game effectively utilizes its core mechanics—ricochet, lasso, and phase—to enhance the player experience.
- “The ricochet mechanic was definitely my favorite part; I liked that there were situations where you couldn't just shoot bullets wildly, you had to think creatively about how you shot them.”
- “Each boss had their own unique mechanic that made each encounter fresh and fun, some even aligning with the ghost's character, which I thought was neat.”
- “What I loved the most was the duel mechanic unique to them, which gave me goosebumps the first time it happened because of the sheer coolness of it all.”

The narrative ties together emotional themes, though some players may find certain elements off-putting.
- “The game also isn't exactly plot or dialogue-heavy, but I liked the concept of helping the townspeople's loved ones pass on into the afterlife, and how it all ties in at the end with Val having to confront a ghost from her own past.”
