The story aspect of the game is characterized by a lighthearted and humorous approach, featuring mission objectives reminiscent of Tony Hawk's style, where players can engage in quirky challenges and discover hidden elements within levels. This design not only enhances replayability but also adds a playful narrative layer that keeps players entertained. However, there are requests for additional levels, weapons, and a more developed storyline to further enrich the experience.
- “The whole thing is tied up with a neat little bow of a Tony Hawk's style mission objective screen where there are hidden things to find and do around the level to clear those objectives off your checklist within a very small window of time (e.g., hit Steve Jobs' picture with an apple). This alone adds a lot of replayability and a good sense of humor to the game.”

- “Despite the jankiness, the atmosphere is haunting and immersive, drawing you into a world that feels both familiar and terrifying.”
- “It feels so creepy despite not being intended that way; the sound effects and atmosphere create a sense of unease. It doesn't feel like a relaxing place; it feels like the hotel in 'The Shining'. I avoided the attic on the second level because it looked like a serial killer's den from what I could see.”
- “The atmosphere is unsettling and not in a good way. The sound effects contribute to a creepy vibe that makes the environment feel more like a horror setting than a fun gaming experience.”
