The gameplay features a unique dollhouse view that enables players to observe the scene from a holistic perspective. However, there are significant issues with the core first and third-person mechanics, which detract from the overall experience.
“Basically, the game mechanic allows you to pull back to a dollhouse view where you can look at the scene holistically.”
“Unfortunately, the core mechanic of first/third person view does not appear to be working properly.”

The game's atmosphere is highly praised for its beauty, which enhances the overall experience despite the puzzles being somewhat clichéd and familiar in design. Players feel that the captivating environment compensates for the predictability of the gameplay mechanics.
“The puzzles are a tad cliché, not bad, but so far pretty much the kind you have seen in a 2+ character dungeon crawler (avatar A stands on platform B to gain access to C, etc.), but I don't care; it's beautiful and the atmosphere makes it work.”

The game is praised for its stunning visuals, particularly on high-quality OLED displays, and delivers solid, smooth performance, especially on a GTX 1080 graphics card.
“The game looks beautiful on the Samsung higher pixel and deep colored OLED display, and the performance is solid and smooth as butter (GTX 1080 on that machine).”
