The gameplay features interesting mechanics, such as a shadow ability and time-stopping, but suffers from significant flow disruptions and clunky controls. Players find the pacing painfully slow, with many describing it as a walking simulator lacking real challenge, and the key bindings are inconvenient. Overall, while there are promising elements, the execution leaves much to be desired.
- “I like the shadow mechanic to take out nearby enemies.”
- “The gameplay is interesting with this ability to stop time on click, but there are some drawbacks. The time also stops before and after an action, which is unnecessary and breaks the flow of the game. The key binding is strange; using 'tab' to switch between walking modes isn't convenient, and it would be good to display the key to skip story scenes. Dying can happen, and going through all the story scenes is long, very long.”
- “+ interesting mechanics are a starting point.”
- “I liked the isometric view, the animations, and the level layouts; it's just the gameplay that's painfully slow and the plot that makes no sense.”
- “There is little to no effective gameplay; it's mostly a walking simulator with no real difficulty.”
- “Controls are clunky and the gameplay is very slow.”

- “The visuals, control, story, and sound are all very much a minimalist proof of concept.”

- “That said, I don't want to discourage the devs; certain aspects like the overall art style are very promising, and the idea itself is good.”
