The gameplay has received largely negative feedback, with players criticizing its poor controls, unclear user interface, and lack of guidance, leading to confusion and frustration. While some appreciated the interactive mechanics of finding hidden items, many felt that the experience was too short and trivialized once the items were located. Overall, the game suffers from significant issues that detract from its potential, making it feel more like a chore than an engaging experience.
- “The game is consistent; I like the mechanics of finding hidden drawers and switches.”
- “Was a very interactive game; I would have liked to have seen more gameplay. As soon as you got into how the game worked, it was over. My friend said it was like playing a panic room, only for someone 5 minutes in to say hooray, you unlocked the door, you're free...”
- “Once all items are found, solving the puzzle is almost trivial (compared to finding them, because it is really hard to spot some items during gameplay).”
- “Nice concept and atmosphere but beyond terrible controls and gameplay (for example you need to find extremely small controls to interact with in very dark areas, while no option to change gamma settings or to free the mouse cursor from the center of the screen is given).”
- “Gameplay is very poor.”
- “Tl;dr: a bit of a waste of time, the gameplay is confusing, the UI isn't clear, there's no indication how to proceed, there's pixel hunting, and you can just try everything on everything to get to the credits in less than 20 minutes.”

- “There's a couple of limited performance options, but no customizable resolution, so there's no way to make sure the game displays properly on any given monitor.”
- “There's a terrible performance issue at first, though, perhaps worked around by switching fullscreen off and back on in settings.”
- “There's some initial performance issue on Linux with amdgpu and mesa >=18.3 when running it for the first time - wait about 5 minutes and it will be gone.”
