- “The story is vaguely there.”

The gameplay is primarily a walking simulator set in a poorly lit environment, featuring basic mechanics like a flashlight with limited battery life and a night-vision camera. Players encounter numerous bugs, design flaws, and a lack of engaging content, leading to a slow and unimmersive experience that may appeal to a niche audience but is generally viewed unfavorably.
- “The game has two light mechanics: one from your flashlight and the night-vision feature on the camera, which is basically handed to you at the beginning.”
- “All the mechanics included, though somewhat pointless objectively, allow you to duck left or duck right.”
- “The gameplay is just a walking simulator in some nondescript place that only paid half of their light bill.”
- “The flashlight also has a charging mechanic, but you have to find batteries to charge it up, which wouldn't be so bad if each charge didn't last just 15 seconds.”
- “I'm sure there are some people who enjoy these types of overly simplistic games with a myriad of bugs, design flaws, lighting issues, slow gameplay where you don't do anything, almost zero ambiance and immersion, clipping textures, and random screamers, but I'm willing to venture and say that most people don't like these types of games.”
