- “The story itself also seems to incorporate itself subtly with the mechanics, which is a nice touch.”

- “No combat, just story and collection.”

The music in the game is described as appropriately creepy and enhances the deep story, but some players feel that the foreboding background music can be unsuitable during less intense moments, suggesting a need for more varied soundscapes.

Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be well-balanced, with effective resource management that prevents players from feeling stuck. While some challenges can become tedious, particularly towards the end, the grinding mechanics ultimately serve to enhance the gameplay experience by breaking up monotony. However, the repetitive music during grinding moments has been noted as a mismatch for some players.
- “The resource management is pretty decent while not too grindy, and well designed so that you always have a way to get more resources even when you are out of money, stamina, bait, etc. That's important in these types of games, as it is terrible to get stuck because of mismanagement.”
- “Grinding in this game feels rewarding rather than tedious, as each session brings you closer to your goals and enhances your overall experience.”
- “I appreciate how the game balances grinding with progression, making it feel like every effort contributes to my character's development.”

- “Then there are times where you are grinding or reading scrolls (informational only), and the same foreboding music feels unsuitable.”
- “Some of the challenges near the end felt a bit tedious, but overall it was enjoyable.”
