The gameplay is notably short, averaging around 30 to 50 minutes, which many players feel does not justify the price, suggesting it is better to purchase on sale. While the repetition of environments influenced by paranormal activity is acknowledged, it lacks the depth and execution found in other indie horror titles, leading to a less engaging experience overall. Despite its brevity, some players appreciate that it doesn't overstay its welcome.
- “The repetition of the gameplay is not really a deal-breaker for me, as I understand the concept behind the repeating environments altered by paranormal activity upon subsequent visits.”
- “Short and sweet, this is not a game that will offer a lot of gameplay, but it doesn't overstay its welcome to bore you with such an issue.”
- “Overpriced for the 50 minutes of gameplay you'll get, (buy on sale)”
- “There's about 30 minutes of gameplay here and it just doesn't quite do enough to be interesting.”
- “However, this 'PT' mechanic has been better explored in other indie horror titles, and I feel it didn't land as well in this entry.”
