Overall, the game's replayability is mixed; while some players find it enjoyable with humorous references, many express frustration with confusing puzzles that lack clear guidance. Suggestions for improvement include adding unlockable scenarios to enhance replay value, as the current experience is not deemed highly replayable.
- “Funny with great references to other things, challenging and highly replayable.”

- “Really enjoyed it; not exactly replayable, but a great game!”
- “No replay value and most of the puzzles are confusing and have no subtle guides. For example, you come across the dog holding the tools, you see a campfire and you already have the gunpowder mix. Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is to use the gunpowder mix with the campfire to scare the dog, but that's not what you do to make progress, so it's sort of confusing.”
- “It would add more replay value if you had a second scenario unlockable. I personally would like to take the route of Lupin to see and reenact what he messed with in the timeline. Aside from that, a great experience!”
