    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is widely criticized for its numerous bugs and glitches, making it feel unstable and unpolished. Many players report issues with controls, co-op functionality, and graphical errors, leading to a frustrating experience. While some see potential in the game's concept, the overwhelming consensus is that it is currently unplayable and not worth the investment until significant updates are made.

    • “This game has been a buggy mess since day one and they say they are happy with it.”

    • “Everything is buggy, achievements don't work, settings don't work right.. nothing about this game is okay.”
  • gameplay
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has been criticized for its janky mechanics and numerous bugs, making basic actions like moving, interacting with items, and navigating menus frustratingly unresponsive. While the audio and some visual elements are praised, the overall experience is marred by poor controls and a lack of essential features, such as a jump mechanic, leading to a recommendation against the game.

    • “The gameplay (outside that boat) looks pretty good, especially the audio stuff.”
    • “It builds off the sensational phasmo horror mechanics, but just a different flavor.”
    • “Other things that are wrong with the game is the camera/view rotation where just looking around feels incredibly janky, grabbing items should not have a 'hold e' function but rather just simply 'press e' so that you get a little faster gameplay and then some other issues.”
    • “Just a mess of bugs and janky controls on even the most basic mechanics that any video game needs to actually be playable.”
    • “Core mechanics like moving, opening a menu, or interacting with items are all unworkably glitchy.”
    • “Other issues include the camera/view rotation, where just looking around feels incredibly janky. Grabbing items should not require a 'hold E' function but rather just a simple 'press E' for faster gameplay.”

  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as a blatant cash grab, with users feeling that the asking price does not reflect the value of the content offered.
