The gameplay is criticized for relying on a poorly executed mechanical gimmick, resulting in a monotonous experience that involves minimal interaction and frustrating navigation in a confined space. Players find the simplistic design and randomization of item locations unengaging, leading to frequent moments of annoyance as they struggle to complete tasks.
