The game features a well-crafted creepy atmosphere with good graphics and sound design, enhancing the horror experience.
It's a fun and unique short experience that offers some enjoyable gameplay elements, such as breaking pots and exploring the environment.
As a free game, it provides decent entertainment value and showcases effort from the developers, making it worth a try.

The locomotion system, which relies on arm swinging, can be awkward and tiring, and lacks smooth movement options.
The game is very short and limited in scope, with only one area to explore and minimal content.
There are several technical issues, including poor collision detection and AI behavior, which can detract from the overall experience.
