Gameplay is criticized for its lack of depth and inspiration, primarily involving slow movement in a small room with easily locatable items. Players often find themselves frustrated by the clunky controls and the repetitive nature of searching for objectives, leading to a tedious experience.
“The item locations are randomized each gameplay, making exploration interesting even in such a small room.”
“The gameplay offers a unique challenge as you navigate through the environment, adding an element of surprise.”
“Despite its simplicity, the gameplay encourages players to think critically and engage with their surroundings.”
“The gameplay consists of staring at white text on a black background and slowly moving around a room using WASD, which feels uninspired and lazy.”
“Even with this minimal amount of gameplay, it's still frustrating; you tend to get stuck on objects in the room, and I guarantee you will sigh frequently as you hunt for the last thing you're supposed to do, just waiting for it to be over.”
“Supposedly the item locations are randomized each gameplay, but they are easy to find in such a small room.”

The humor in the game is noted to be self-referential, with players feeling that the developer is playfully mocking them for their purchase, which adds a layer of irony to the experience. This tongue-in-cheek approach to humor is appreciated by some, providing a light-hearted element amidst any frustrations.
“And remember that the dev is laughing at you (and me) for purchasing this, while he sips on Cristal from his ruby-encrusted goblet.”
“That at least had some humor...”
