The game's story, centered around a character named Amanda and described as a time-traveling experience, has garnered mixed reviews. While some players find it intriguing and reminiscent of a Twilight Zone episode, others criticize its weak narrative structure, which relies heavily on scattered papers and posters that lack coherence. Overall, the story is seen as original but underdeveloped, leaving players wanting more depth and interactivity as it remains unfinished after a brief playtime.
- “I do not want to spoil the story, but let's just say referring to the game as a time-travelling experience is very much spot-on.”
- “I love love love the storyline and will be counting the minutes until the second chapter.”
- “It's about a half hour romp, but the story is at least original and well told.”
- “Since this is labelled 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 triggering events rather than offering substantial player agency. While some players appreciated the smooth mechanics and the avoidance of overused jump-scare tactics, many noted a lack of depth and variety, particularly towards the end where it shifts to an escape room format. Overall, there is potential for improvement through the introduction of meaningful choices or multiple 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.”
- “- a straightforward experience that had smooth mechanics and progression.”
- “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.”
