The gameplay is a mixed experience, with some players finding the single-player mode challenging and unclear, particularly in navigating the labyrinth and escaping the minotaur. However, others appreciate the game's adventurous survival elements and its ability to create a frightening atmosphere through effective design. Overall, while there are criticisms regarding multiplayer options and clarity, the gameplay is recognized for its engaging and immersive qualities.
“Overall good gameplay design.”
“I see no servers for multiplayer, and singleplayer even on easy does not really allow you to get the idea properly: you can only play as the sole human trying to escape the mighty minotaur. The labyrinth scale and the gameplay are unclear, so in multiple attempts, I had the minotaur kill me at the spawn point several times. Only once did I manage to stumble upon the exits, though I could not yet use them.”
“Don't judge the game on what you see from its gameplay.”
“A fun and adventurous survival game with a flow and gameplay that blends a truly frightening atmosphere with art design.”
