The gameplay is criticized for being unpolished and incomplete, with poorly explained mechanics that leave players confused and reliant on external guides. Basic survival elements like drinking water are either non-functional or frustrating, contributing to an overall lack of depth despite simple core concepts.

- “The mechanics feel incomplete and everything is poorly explained, leaving you to wander aimlessly until you find a guide.”
- “Gameplay is terrible, a few things just don't work (like you can't drink water as far as I know, so you just die after a while).”
- “Little to no effort on a lot of the art assets, no polish whatsoever in the gameplay, and a tutorial that may as well not exist.”
