The game's story is described as intriguing and spooky, centered around a character named Amanda and featuring time-travel elements. However, many reviewers criticize the narrative for being poorly conveyed through scattered papers and posters, leading to a weak and superficial experience. While some find the original concept engaging and reminiscent of classic horror, others note the lack of meaningful choices and depth, leaving the story feeling unfinished and more like an interactive experience than a fully developed narrative.
- “The story revolves around Amanda, who you control.”
- “I do not want to spoil the story, but let's just say referring to the game as a time-traveling experience is very much spot-on.”
- “I love love love the storyline and will be counting the minutes until the second chapter.”
- “Since this is labeled as chapter 1, the story remains unfinished after 30 minutes of playtime.”
- “The fundamental issue with this game is the narrative: the story is told only through papers and posters scattered around the various rooms of the game.”
- “There is also a sentence in the trailer, 'or will you take control of your own destiny,' implying that the story would have decision-making features, but there are none; it's just walking to trigger events happening in the game.”

The gameplay is largely simplistic and resembles a narrative-driven walking simulator with minimal interactive elements, primarily focusing on exploration and triggering events. While it features a few escape room mechanics towards the end, the overall experience lacks depth and player agency, though it is noted for its smooth mechanics and absence of glitches. Players appreciate the break from traditional jump-scare tactics, but many feel the gameplay could benefit from more choices and varied endings.
- “Definitely more of a narrative walking sim with horror elements than an all-out horror game, but I'm more than happy with taking a break from overused jump scare mechanics.”
- “That being said, it was solid, with no glitches in the gameplay whatsoever, so there is definitely room for it to be better with actual choices or perhaps different endings based on progression.”
- “The jump scares/triggers complemented the gameplay and did not feel over-saturated and random.”
- “The gameplay, or what little there is, does not improve the situation at all.”
- “Towards the end, it becomes a small escape room where you have to find keys, a type of gameplay that had not been considered by the game until that moment.”
- “- no gameplay, nothing for the player to do besides triggering events.”
