The gameplay is generally well-received, praised for its smooth controls, graphics, and atmospheric elements, though it suffers from repetitiveness due to a lack of variety and only one map.

Overall, while the gameplay is enjoyable and features effective jump scares, it could benefit from more depth and polish.
- “Nice game graphics, controls, and gameplay are nice. I have given four stars instead of five because there are some glitches which you must fix, and sometimes pieces of pictures and keys are very difficult to find. It's written in the help section to look thoroughly, which is true and most helpful tip; otherwise, super duper cool game.”
