The gameplay is criticized for being monotonous and unengaging, primarily involving repetitive tasks like navigating through similar rooms and matching papers. Players find the core mechanics simplistic and lacking depth, leading to a frustrating experience that detracts from the otherwise intriguing alternate history setting.
“While I enjoy the weird alternate history world it presents, the gameplay leaves much to be desired.”
“When you finally figure out how to play, the gameplay consists of walking from one copy-pasted room to another, clicking on dozens of pieces of paper looking for the one with the correct name on it.”
“The big reveals are lackluster, and even the basic 'insert papers' mechanic doesn't go beyond color/name matching.”

The graphics and visual design have been widely criticized as unattractive and poorly executed, with users also noting that the user interface is unintuitive, making it difficult to navigate and locate previously collected items.
“The graphics and visual design are disgusting. The UI is so unintuitive that you can't access any of the other papers you've picked up, forcing you to search through the copy-paste rooms to find the same paper you picked up just two minutes ago.”
“The graphics and visual design are horrible!”
