The gameplay of "I Wish It Was Morning All the Time" is a blend of survival and point-and-click mechanics, set in a tense, zombie-infested environment that emphasizes emotional storytelling and the urgency of protecting a vulnerable character. While some players find the mechanics repetitive and obtuse, the game offers a compelling atmosphere and encourages exploration through trial and error, making it a unique experience in the indie horror genre. Overall, the simplicity of the gameplay can be both a strength and a limitation, depending on player expectations and engagement with the mechanics.
- “At its core, I Wish It Was Morning All the Time is a survival game with strong point-and-click mechanics.”
- “The gameplay loop revolves around making sure the house is well-secured, scavenging for supplies, and keeping both yourself and your sister alive as long as possible all in a short span of time.”
- “What makes the game even more intense is the vulnerability of your sister—her inability to help physically means you need to constantly protect her, which adds an emotional weight to the traditional survival mechanics.”
- “The gameplay is rather repetitive, but I don't think I've reached the 'ending' people are talking about, so we'll see.”
- “Nice visuals and a decent story, but it doesn't really have much to it gameplay-wise.”
- “A simple but effective atmosphere is all you'll get until the initial hour passes. Taking into account the repetitive gameplay, lack of hints, or linear progression, it's only logical to get help in understanding the mechanics (or quitting).”

- “Perhaps the entire point of this game is an artsy way of conveying a tragic story with no happy ending, and the only way out of it is death; however, I couldn't say that was very enjoyable to play through.”
- “There is no overarching plot to guide you through the entire game.”
- “The lack of context made the story feel deeper than I expected it to be.”

The game offers some replayability with two different endings, providing players with a goal to achieve. However, the lack of clear controls and objectives may hinder the overall experience and enjoyment during multiple playthroughs.

- “The game offers multiple paths and choices, making each playthrough feel unique and encouraging you to explore different strategies.”
- “With various character builds and story outcomes, I find myself coming back to experience all the possibilities.”

- “Once you've completed the game, there's little incentive to go back. The lack of varied choices or branching paths really limits the replayability.”
- “While the game has a captivating story, the linear gameplay means that once you've experienced it, there's not much reason to replay it.”
