The gameplay features a unique "pray" mechanic that adds depth, but is marred by confusing mechanics and frustrating respawn penalties that detract from the experience. While the atmosphere is praised, many players feel that the gameplay suffers from a lack of variety in the actions of the possessed child, which could enhance engagement. Overall, the solid foundation is overshadowed by significant gameplay issues.

- “The gameplay is solid, but it could benefit from more variety in what the possessed child can do, considering how often she appears.”
- “Confusing mechanics and frustrating when sent back to the beginning of the game after death.”
- “Great atmosphere from the outset, but quickly the terrible mechanics kill it faster than this game kills the player.”
- “Only note for the actual gameplay would be adding more variance to what the possessed child does; what you have already is solid, but considering how often she shows up, it could use a little more variety.”

However, this positive impression is quickly undermined by frustrating mechanics that detract from the overall experience, leading to a disconnect between the atmosphere and gameplay enjoyment.
- “The design and setting are relatively low-key, but the atmosphere is striking and probably the main appeal of the game.”
