    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it stiff and limited, particularly in combat mechanics and healing options, which can lead to frustration in enemy encounters. However, others appreciate the combination of puzzle-solving elements and souls-like combat, noting the engaging soundtrack and atmospheric setting. Overall, while the game offers an interesting experience, it is suggested that gameplay adjustments are needed to enhance its potential.

    • “The graphics and mechanics are pretty amazing, though I would've really loved a deflect mechanic.”
    • “It combines a bit of puzzle solving with a souls-like combat mechanic.”
    • “From its atmospheric setting to its masterful gameplay, this game pushes the boundaries of the genre and offers a journey like no other.”
    • “Everything is obscenely stiff, the limited mechanics crumble in the presence of multiple enemies, healing is limited to more or less a single pickup per segment that gives you a varying amount of charges, enemies hold the items you need to progress so the description suggesting avoiding them is simply a lie, ranged enemies simply continue firing at you while you stand in their face cutting them up, enemy vulnerabilities are often in the middle of a combo and if you don't hit them at the right time you just eat the rest of the attacks, NPC dialogue is immensely drawn out to tell you nothing at all, I honestly can't think of anything to say that's complimentary.”
    • “This is pretty decent for its low price, but needs some gameplay adjustments.”
    • “If I had to compare it to something, it would be old challenging games before any soulslikes, like Ghosts 'n Goblins (based on the gameplay I've seen of it), though definitely unlike that too.”
