    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising its unique art style reminiscent of Tim Burton's work and its vibrant character customization, while others criticize the visuals as cartoonish and lacking technical quality, particularly in terms of modern features like RTX support. Overall, the art style is a significant draw for some, but it may not appeal to everyone, especially those expecting more realistic graphics.

    • “I just wanted to say how much I really liked this game; the character customization is really dope, and the art style of the game looks unique!”
    • “I love the art style of the game; it reminds me of Tim Burton's work, so that's a huge plus.”
    • “The art style is fantastic, but I appreciate it might not be everyone's taste in a horror game.”
    • “The original Escape the Ayuowoki was terrifying, but this game is like a cartoon. The music is lame, and it's stuck in a frustrating third-person perspective with an ugly art style reminiscent of Sea of Thieves. What were the creators thinking making this game?”
    • “The graphics of this game are crummy and cannot even run RTX. How am I supposed to get shaders on this game? I need to run RTX on every single game I play, and every game has RTX, which allows me to play with shaders. I simply cannot play a game without RTX.”
    • “The art style and concept, which are shared by other games of this kind, are the biggest draw, but they still fall short of expectations.”
  • stability7 mentions

    The game is currently experiencing significant stability issues, with numerous bugs and glitches reported by players.

    • “It's buggy as hell.”

  • gameplay4 mentions

    Gameplay reviews highlight a divide in player experience, with some finding the new mechanics unplayable compared to the original game, while others appreciate the blend of classic and innovative elements. There is a consensus that the game feels more like a single-player experience with multiplayer features, suggesting that sticking closer to the original mechanics could improve overall reception.

    • “Overall, I think it's a very good game; it conserves aspects from the original games, as well as new mechanics, and it's totally a worthwhile buy! 👍”
    • “This alone makes the game unplayable; the devs just need to have the mechanics from the previous game, and it would probably make this playable.”
    • “One final thing I'll say (as I appreciate this review is getting rather long) is that it does feel like a single-player game with a multiplayer mechanic.”
    • “I honestly think you need to stick to the original game and mechanics; otherwise, the game reviews will stay mostly negative.”
  • music4 mentions

    The music in the game is described as a cheesy classic horror soundtrack that fits well with its cartoonish aesthetic, reminiscent of a blend between World of Warcraft and an enchanted Disney castle.

Overall, opinions on the music vary widely, with some enjoying its charm and others criticizing it as uninspired.

    • “I'd describe it as a cross between World of Warcraft's visual style and an enchanted Disney castle with its cartoony feel, and with its cheesy classic horror soundtrack it is a bit of a cliched setting, but that's not an insult, I love it.”
    • “Love the artwork and music.”
    • “The original Escape the Ayuwoki was terrifying, but this game is like a cartoon and the music is lame. It's stuck in a third-person perspective with an ugly art style. What were the creators thinking making this type of game, making me waste 8 dollars?”
