    The gameplay is generally engaging and enjoyable, blending horror and strategic mechanics that keep players challenged and intrigued. While some aspects like map layout and certain mechanics (e.g., tablet usage, power balance, and cart controls) could be more intuitive or refined, the overall experience is smooth, exciting, and offers a unique mix of tension and fun. Fans of horror and cleanup-style games will likely appreciate the variety and creativity in gameplay elements.

    • “Maps themselves are pretty basic, but the monster presence and mechanics make them interesting. It's rare for a game like this to make me wish there were more maps. I will definitely pick this up in the future if it gets more maps.”
    • “The gameplay is very fun and exciting; it's like a mix of Viscera Cleanup Detail, Five Nights at Freddy's, and Lethal Company!”
    • “Loads of mechanics, scary screamers, and interesting gameplay that will never let you rest.”
    • “Hiding in the supply lockers is a good example as you are literally invulnerable during a hunt phase, as well as power being too abundant and not really working as a fail state since you can just ignore the mechanic entirely.”
    • “The map layout isn't intuitive, there are constant mentions about the 'tablet' mechanic, which cannot be used (I presume it would display a map, which would be a very useful tool, as it's incredibly easy to get lost in a dead ends).”
    • “That can't be said about the other 'regular' levels - the game throws you into deep water with noticeable discrepancies in mechanics that are not explained well enough (for example: you need to install all the cameras by yourself).”
  • story

    The story aspect is intertwined with gameplay elements like mission progression and upgrades, offering a unique mechanic where changes made to maps during missions persist across future playthroughs, enhancing strategic depth. While the narrative includes intriguing concepts like playing blackjack with a ringmaster and hunting monsters, the overall story presentation feels secondary to these gameplay systems. There is no clear difficulty slider, with challenge levels seemingly tied to specific missions.

    • “You get money for permanent upgrades to your stats via buying furniture and decorating your apartment at the end of missions, but during missions you get a budget to spend on equipment that's delivered during the mission for immediate use, and what you don't spend gets taken out with you for furniture after.”
    • “The neatest thing is any way you change the map during a mission, such as installing cameras, doors, alarms, removing obstacles, repairing equipment, etc., carries over to all future playthroughs of any mission on the same map, allowing you to, over time, change a map to give you the advantage.”
    • “When you feel ready, you can take on special hunt missions that are like heists, where you catch the monsters.”
    • “And on the final stretch of the last story map, the ringmaster said we'd play blackjack with him?”
    • “But I swear the game used to show it taking place in just a very large office or one-story mall looking place (this was back when the first monster, the weeping angel-like one, was the only one shown in the game).”
    • “No difficulty slider but from what I see difficulty is based per mission unless I missed.”

    The game is notably buggy, with frequent glitches such as enemies ignoring players and items disappearing. Despite these stability issues, it remains enjoyable, especially when playing with friends, though updates are needed to improve the overall experience.

    • “Buggy, I was right in front of the creature so many times but it kept ignoring me and locking onto my friend.”
    • “Buggy as hell, items frequently disappearing.”
    • “Bugs and glitches: it’s a bit rough around the edges.”

    The game's humor shines in its chaotic co-op gameplay, combining scary moments with funny, panic-induced interactions among friends. Unintended collisions and playful sabotage create hilarious scenarios, while a strategic approach adds another layer to the comedic experience.

    • “But once you start playing with friends, it becomes chaotic, scary, and hilarious at the same time.”
    • “If you like co-op horror games, strategy, funny panic moments, and screaming with your friends, this game is definitely worth trying.”
    • “You'll have hilarious encounters by messing each other up (intentionally or unintentionally), and if you want a more strategic approach, that is also possible by planning out all your moves before you start.”
