The gameplay is praised for its unique and clever lens mechanic that uses colors and perspective to reveal hidden elements, creating an engaging visual and audio experience. While the concept and atmosphere receive positive notes, some users find the mechanics, particularly monster AI and lens switching, unpolished and occasionally frustrating. Overall, it's considered a short but interesting game with potential for further development.
- “A fun shorter little game that does some clever mechanics with colors and perspective to put together a rather touching little story.”
- “Great mechanics, with a nice mix between visual and audio cues; I hate that sneaky yellow fiend.”
- “The use of colours as a mechanic is unique and I like how it played into the lore and made me want to learn more.”
- “Both gameplay elements, the color lenses and the monsters, are very unpolished, with the random lens switching being nothing more than a nuisance, and the monsters having poor AI but greater speed, resulting in either no trouble at all or instant death with no chance of outpacing them.”
- “Not really worth playing if you are going for horror or puzzle mechanics.”
- “Interesting and unique mechanic but disappointing story and the monsters aren't scary anymore after the first jumpscare.”

The story is generally seen as minimal, vague, and underdeveloped, typical of a rushed student project with limited polish, though it contains a few touching moments and a promising ending. Many players appreciate the subtle narrative elements that encourage interpretation and theory crafting but find the plot incomplete and lacking depth. While the mechanics tie in well with the storyline, the overall narrative feels inconclusive and leaves much to be desired.
- “A fun shorter little game that does some clever mechanics with colors and also perspective to put together a rather touching little story.”
- “The ending cut scene was really cool from a story standpoint and it made me want to play more to see what would happen if I got the whole painting.”
- “The story is not explicitly explained; however, the player can make up their own theories on who you are, what happened in the mansion, and where your family is.”
- “Story is borderline non-existent; all we have are some character thoughts and a vague context, but nothing really engaging, and the ending feels as inconclusive as the whole game.”
- “And there's the problem... as a student project, this was rushed out, lacks content, lacks polish... so the AI is badly done, there's not enough real story to make what anyone could call a full game... student projects might look like they have a lot of potential but they usually disappoint because, as I keep having to say, they're not full games made for gamers.”
- “- unclear story”
