Additionally, technical glitches have hindered progression, further detracting from the overall storytelling experience.
- “It's a production that truly strives for both atmosphere and storytelling.”
- “The story is quite good.”
- “The beginning trailer teases a good story, but it never pays off in the game.”
- “Not much of a story to follow.”
- “However, the story is weak; there is no context to what's happening other than a background story at the beginning, and it's literally unbeatable due to a glitch at the end.”
- “But there is no real story, there are no stakes, hardly any music, and no genuine tension, just a handful of poor attempts at jumpscares.”

The atmosphere of the game is consistently described as tense, unsettling, and creepy, effectively creating a sense of unease throughout the experience. Many players appreciate the haunting sound and lighting effects, which enhance the overall horror vibe, while some note that the reliance on atmosphere over traditional jump scares adds to its uniqueness. However, a few reviewers mention that the gameplay can be confusing at times, detracting from the immersive experience.
- “The game's atmosphere is truly tense and unsettling from start to finish.”
- “Atmosphere was amazing, the sound and lighting effects were haunting me throughout!”
- “Atmosphere is what I value most in horror games, because most games try to achieve a 'sudden scare.' Iblis 1 takes a slightly different approach: it creates a constant sense of unease.”
- “The game was scary and definitely landed the atmosphere; I was scared half the time, but the other half I was so confused and lost.”
- “You have to walk around and around the not-so-big house looking for keys, but it's not as easy as it sounds as the keys only trigger at certain times/points in the game. This game relies on its scary atmosphere; it does sometimes give you tips on what to do next, either written in blood on walls or a letter pinned up somewhere.”

The gameplay is primarily centered around exploration and puzzle-solving, but it has been criticized for its repetitive nature and unclear event triggers, leading to a sense of aimlessness. While the graphics and jump scares are praised, many players find the overall gameplay experience lacking, with some describing it as "meh" despite the atmospheric elements. Bugs and inconsistencies, such as the erratic availability of certain mechanics, further detract from the experience.
- “The gameplay isn't overly complex, focusing more on exploration and puzzles.”
- “The game mechanics involve walking around the rooms multiple times to trigger events and make items appear.”
- “The graphics are nice, the jump scares will give you shivers, and the gameplay is decent.”
- “The game mechanics require you to walk around the rooms multiple times to trigger events and make items appear.”
- “What triggers events in the game is incomprehensible, and the actual gameplay seems to consist of just wandering around the exact same rooms repeatedly until something happens for some reason.”
- “One of the game's main mechanics (opening drawers) is seemingly both available and unavailable at random with different drawers.”

The game's stability is marked by minor technical glitches and occasional issues with transitions, which do not significantly impact the overall experience. However, players have reported critical bugs, such as keys failing to spawn, which can lead to frustrating moments, albeit the short playtime allows for quick exits if needed. Overall, while the game has its imperfections, it remains enjoyable for those willing to overlook these flaws.
- “Also, the game is 20 minutes long at most... even if you're completely stuck and have no idea what you should be doing after visiting every room and not finding a key (because the game is buggy as hell; sometimes keys do not spawn), you can still close the game and pretend like you finished it in under 20 minutes... because all the time you need to get stuck in this game is just a couple of minutes!”
- “There are some minor technical glitches; some transitions feel out of place, but they're not enough to detract from the overall experience.”
- “- I loved how it looks, and I like to support small games even if they are not perfect or kind of buggy.”
