- “This was a short story game but enough to get me scared.”
- “The story is quite good.”
- “The second part is better, but don't miss out on the start of the story!”
- “The story itself is too dry and needs more explanation; I hope they will do better with the pacing, but the scary vibes and creepy aspect of the game are very nice!”
- “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 game's atmosphere is widely praised for its frightening and immersive qualities, with many players noting the effective use of sound and lighting to create a high-tension, creepy environment. While some found the atmosphere to be a strong point that enhances the horror experience, others criticized the gameplay mechanics, such as item retrieval, which detracted from the overall experience. Overall, the atmosphere is considered a standout feature, making it a recommended choice for fans of atmospheric horror.
- “Overall the atmosphere is very scary and the scares are rare enough and well placed.”
- “Atmosphere was amazing, the sound & lighting effects were haunting me throughout!”
- “I would highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a good creepy atmosphere game.”
- “I still have no idea how I found one of the items needed to complete the game--I get that it has to be dark for the atmosphere, but I literally had to resort to just spam-clicking every inch of one room to find the final item.”
- “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. You cannot die in this game and there's no running from monsters/ghosts/etc. 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.”
- “Very creepy atmosphere.”

- “Look, the graphics are fine, or they would be if I could actually see anything.”
