The game's atmosphere is frequently praised for its dream-like quality, enhanced by effective use of fog and textures that create a chill and bizarre environment. While some players find the horror elements lacking, many appreciate the developers' commitment to storytelling through atmosphere rather than dialogue, resulting in a diverse and immersive experience.

“A cheap game from a small team of people that delights in nice textures and an overall depressing atmosphere.”
“This game really managed to build an atmosphere and I can appreciate the English language conversion :) worth a play!”
“There is a sequel to this game called 'Last Village' which vastly corrects this, but still lacks the lore needed due to the developer's continued commitment to telling a story with pictures and atmosphere more than words.”
“Horror is extremely lacking, somewhat succeeds with building an eerie atmosphere but does nothing with it.”
“Covering the surrounding landscape in a dense fog that leaves only the top floors visible is a nice touch that I really liked because it gives the whole experience this dream-like atmosphere.”
