Gameplay is engaging and offers a sense of discovery, with players feeling they have only begun to explore its depth. However, the corridor map generation and line of sight mechanics are criticized for being awkward and misaligned with the game's genre, while the death/rewind mechanic, though intriguing, disrupts the flow of gameplay without adding significant value.
- “After 10 hours of gameplay, I know that I have only scratched the surface and I enjoy the new things as they arrive.”
- “- The corridor map generation and line of sight mechanic is just awkward and doesn't fit the genre this game is trying to fit in at all.”
