The gameplay is described as solid yet somewhat mindless, resembling a typical "20 Minutes Until Dawn" clone with repetitive mechanics and limited variation due to RNG elements. While the core mechanics are functional and provide hours of content, the experience can feel monotonous, though the inclusion of cute characters adds charm. Overall, it offers a decent value for its price.
“The core mechanics are there and ready to be built upon by additional pets, materials, upgrades, skills, evolutions, and of course the most limiting area of the game so far - the characters.”
“Solid gameplay.”
“And the game has a lot of content for many hours of gameplay for such a small price; it's a must-play definitely!”
“Mindless gameplay.”
“This leads to every run being mostly the same, multiplied by some RNG (this run you had pierce, next run you'll have more projectiles, but it has around 0 impact on the gameplay).”
“It's a typical 20 Minutes Until Dawn clone with core gameplay working one to one - you have a weapon with bullets, you need to reload it.”
