Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat tedious, involving repetitive tasks and backtracking, typical of campy horror games.

Overall, the experience is described as funky and fitting within the genre's conventions.
- “You can beat it in about 60 minutes for one ending, and you can get another one by replaying the last chapter, although it won't let you reset at the last part if you die, so it might take a few attempts. Not actually difficult, just slightly tedious.”
- “Just very funky vibes overall. It can be slightly tedious as it makes you do various chores and backtracking, but it's okay; that is how campy horror games usually go, making you do generic tasks until something happens.”
