The game's story is criticized for being nonsensical and lacking depth, leading to a frustrating experience for players. While the concept has potential, it ultimately feels underdeveloped and fails to engage.
- “While the concept is intriguing, the story could benefit from more depth and development.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs, including texture glitches, unresponsive controls, and inconsistent mechanics that disrupt gameplay. Many players experienced significant issues, such as being unable to exit interactions and frequent character glitches, leading to frustration and the need for restarts. Overall, the game's stability detracts significantly from the experience.
- “Not worth the money; it's buggy, has bad controls, and is only 'fun' for 15 minutes.”
- “In 31 minutes, I encountered a lot of texture glitches. I couldn't exit the drone after interacting with it, which meant I had to restart. The character glitched towards me on multiple occasions (she has a magnetic range, but some situations seemed bugged). The bell trigger doesn't work consistently, and the slingshot doesn't always function.”

grinding

Players find the grinding aspect frustrating due to poorly designed maps that feature numerous dead-end rooms, often leading to tedious scenarios where they must either lure enemies away or rely on luck to escape being trapped.
- “The map is poorly designed, with plenty of dead-end rooms where you can easily get trapped with no means to escape. You must either lure an enemy away before exploring, which is tedious, or just hope to be lucky and escape before getting blocked.”
- “Grinding feels like an endless chore, with repetitive tasks that offer little reward and make progress feel painfully slow.”
- “The experience of grinding is marred by a lack of meaningful progression, making it feel more like a time sink than an engaging part of the game.”
