The gameplay is a mixed experience, praised for its engaging story and effective jump scares, but criticized for a frustrating saving mechanic that relies on limited VHS tapes, leading to frequent crashes and loss of progress. While the innovative mechanics add depth, they can also create dissonance, detracting from the overall enjoyment.
“I absolutely loved and hated this game; I loved it because of the story and the gameplay itself - hated it because it scared me almost to death.”
“Great jumpscares and gameplay with an intriguing story.”
“I couldn't count how many times it crashed and ruined a great deal of my progress, thanks to the new saving mechanic relying on VHS tapes, which is honestly an awful idea. You can't save your game at will anymore since you have one or two in your inventory at most, and you naturally want to use them carefully after making worthwhile progress.”
“This is what happens when you get too creative with your mechanics ideas.”
“Your mechanics are not jiving with each other.”
