    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally enjoyable and spooky, but it suffers from a lack of diversity, primarily revolving around repetitive tasks like collecting keys and runes while avoiding enemies. Additionally, there are frustrating issues, such as important items occasionally spawning inside walls, which can hinder game progression.

    • “The gameplay is fun and spooky scary, and the jesters are stressing me out.”
    • “The only problem is the lack of gameplay diversity (pick up keys, collect runes, run from the jester and hide, along with the occasional armor that you have to be careful with), and there have been instances where important items like keys or runes appeared inside walls, making it impossible to complete the game.”
    • “The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks depth, making it hard to stay engaged for long periods.”
    • “There are too many bugs that disrupt the gameplay experience, leading to frustrating moments that take away from the overall enjoyment.”
  • replayability

    • “Once you complete the game, there's not much incentive to play again; it feels like a one-and-done experience.”
    • “The game is enjoyable, but after finishing it, I found myself not wanting to revisit it due to a lack of new content.”
