Great spooky and immersive atmosphere with a nostalgic black-and-white flash game style.
Well-executed jump scares that effectively create tension and unease.
Short, easy-to-play point and click gameplay with clever puzzles and hidden secrets.

Puzzles can be too simple, unclear, or unintuitive, leading some players to brute force solutions.
The game is quite short and some find the ending disappointing or anticlimactic.
Some players dislike the use of jump scares relying on loud sounds and 2000s style creepy faces.

- “At first you are thrown in blind not knowing what to expect, and the grainy VHS-like visuals in a black and white scenery creep you out!”
- “If the devs used these kinds of visuals to create a much larger world with well-intentioned and thought-out puzzles and scares that don't rely on '2000s creepy faces with loud sounds,' I think they would have something going on, but this specific game isn't one I'd recommend playing.”
- “The only negative I can find concerning graphics is that the game is too short.”
