- “Horror Zone 254 is a broken mess disguised as a horror game, where the only 'gameplay' is a mindless loop of being chased by an invisible enemy, and you can't even see where Siren Head is—he just randomly appears or doesn’t, making the whole experience feel like a buggy fever dream; the graphics are outdated, the controls are clunky, the sound is either missing or ear-shattering, and instead of fear, you’re just left confused, annoyed, and wondering why this unfinished nightmare was even released.”
- “All good, just that he didn't die after I had shot him countless times... I have seen him die from videos with 3 shots but during my gameplay he shrugged the shotgun blasts off like they were nothing... super annoying.”

The game's story is generally well-received for its horror elements and supernatural themes, but many players feel it is too short and lacking in depth. Suggestions for improvement include extending the narrative, adding more missions, and incorporating additional gameplay mechanics, such as a free-roam mode. Players are eager for future updates or sequels to expand on the existing storyline.
- “Great game, but the story is kind of short. I passed the game in a few minutes. Please make the story a little longer. You know, when we get back to the car, we ran out of fuel, so we need to find some fuel to escape. I think that would be better than just getting in the car and escaping.”
- “I hope that the story doesn't really end here. I hope this will become popular and the game will get 4.5 stars :)”
- “Love the story and graphics.”
- “All perfect and scary, but at the end it says this is not the end of the story. When will the update or next chapter release? I've been waiting since 2020. Also, when Pipe Head captures or kills you, why is there no animation of Pipe Head swallowing the character? It's very easy to add, so why not include it?”
- “But the story is too short. ”
- “Best horror game under 50MB, but you should continue its story. The language is only in Russian, not in English. Please fix it. Overall, nice game.”
