The gameplay is criticized for its lack of engagement, featuring minimal interaction with the central character, a cumbersome inventory that sees little use, and a stamina system that feels unnecessary due to the absence of any chase or escape mechanics. Players report completing the game in just 45 minutes to an hour, suggesting a lack of depth and content.
- “Just finished the game, which took about 45 minutes to an hour of gameplay.”
- “The game says it is about a dead surgeon, which you rarely encounter in your gameplay. There is a massive inventory, but you only use 2-3 items throughout the whole game. Additionally, there is a stamina bar, yet there is no running from anything in this game!”

The atmosphere of the game has been criticized for its repetitiveness, particularly due to the identical bookshelves found in nearly every room, which detracts from immersion. Reviewers noted that the game lacks engaging elements, with only a few predictable jump scares and an overall quiet, uninteresting ambiance, suggesting a need for more atmospheric depth.
- “The fact that the same bookshelf with the same books were in almost every single room was a little too much and ruined the atmosphere.”
- “Other than that, this game is not even scary; there were maybe 2-3 usual horror game jump scares, and the atmosphere of the game was very quiet and not interesting.”
- “But it could use a little more atmosphere.”
