    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players feeling that the ambient tracks serve merely as background noise and fail to enhance the atmosphere of tension or suspense. While the chase music was particularly criticized, the overall vibe and spookiness of the soundtrack have left some players eager for the next chapter.

    • “I felt like any of the ambience was just background music, not related to creating a feeling of 'being watched over' or anything of that matter.”
    • “I also wasn't a fan of the chase music, but in terms of overall vibes and spookiness, this has made me excited for chapter 2.”

    The game's stability has seen some improvement following a patch aimed at fixing glitches that cause players to fall out of the map, particularly in the office area.

Overall, the game is noted to be quite short, with playthroughs averaging around 20 minutes for newcomers.

    • “The movement is decent, but there are glitches related to movement and the ability to bug out of the map. The game is super short, taking only 20 minutes to beat on the first playthrough and 4-5 minutes once familiar with locations.”
    • “The developer has released a patch that allegedly fixed the issues that caused glitches to make you fall out of the map in the office area, but it seems like these problems persist.”
