The graphics receive praise for their atmospheric, retro-inspired style blending pixelated, PS1/PS2-era aesthetics with realistic and VHS-like visuals, effectively enhancing the horror experience. While the art style and level of detail are widely appreciated, some users note occasional graphical glitches, motion blur issues, and lack of variety in character models. Overall, the graphics are considered a strong point that complements the gameplay, though optimization and additional options could improve the experience further.
- “By far one of the best horror atmospheres, with VHS and realistic graphics at the same time; the game can be repetitive, but it's funny and only gets creepy in the finale. Each day, something important in the story happens, like mysterious actions or someone turning off the lights of your restaurant.”
- “Incredible graphical style and level of detail, fun gameplay and gameplay loop, amazing start to something great.”
- “Really enjoyed the game so far; graphics are amazing and it expands on the original game beautifully. My only gripe is with the lack of a save system; if you're going to play this on a YouTube video/stream, play it in one go or wait for a save update.”
- “Another thing I don't like about this game is the graphics.”
- “Couldn't find the place to drive to, bad graphics, no waypoints, what is the point of this game?”
- “However, it may just be my laptop, maybe the graphics card isn't good enough, but there is this really ugly and nauseating motion blur every time I move my character around.”

The gameplay is widely praised for its unique blend of horror and mechanics like red-light green-light survival, offering a fun, challenging, and addictive experience with a distinctive pixelated style. While some criticize it for limited content or repetitive elements, many appreciate the game's atmosphere, progressive difficulty, and ongoing improvements in this alpha stage. Overall, gameplay is engaging, enjoyable, and shows strong potential for further development.
- “Full of scares, secrets, and tons of fun gameplay mechanics.”
- “Such a unique game in that red-light green-light mechanics apply heavily in your survival.”
- “And finally, the gameplay was a solid 9/10, the timer and the gradual difficulty increase made it super fun to play while keeping you on edge trying to not make any infractions.”
- “It feels like I'm dying of boredom and terrible gameplay; this shouldn't be free, it should be a punishment.”
- “I like how the game looks and the lighting of the game is good. However, 4 out of 5 mascots that I guessed served as enemies were sort of 't-posing' and it was clear that they do not have animation and do not function. Since this is an alpha with only one active enemy that has working animation and functionality, this seemed intentional and overall it doesn't break the flow of gameplay.”
- “Gameplay is simple.”

The game's music is widely praised for its catchy, diverse soundtrack and integration as collectible CDs that players can find and play.

- “Working the restaurant is actually surprisingly fun once you get your groove going, and the soundtrack is ridiculously good (the franchise within the game even has a theme song sung by the guy who sang the original English Pokémon theme).”
- “This game surprised me, I love the graphics and the music in this game is amazing.”
- “I couldn't see, so dark and cold, and then you found the light and I was like why couldn't I find it. It would have worked so much better if I could see. Music is chipper, mascots didn’t kill me, I threw bricks at them like crazy.”
- “First trying to complete the story and after trying to complete some of their little Easter eggs and finding their music discs.”
- “You can listen to different types of music in the restaurant if you can find the disc around the map, so you can find your own taste of music.”
