- “The graphics and gameplay are absolutely stunning!”
- “Unfortunately, this is something the developer seems to have phoned in, with little to no apparent gameplay testing.”
- “Puzzles are not very clever, and the mechanics themselves can be annoying (weird movement, object rotation, dark environment in one of the 3 maps).”

The game's stability has been widely criticized, with many users reporting numerous bugs and glitches, particularly in multiplayer mode. While some players experienced a seamless co-op experience, others faced significant issues such as desynchronization, unintuitive puzzles, and game-breaking glitches that hindered progress. Overall, the game is seen as needing substantial improvements to its stability before it can be recommended.
- “The game is an alright concept but it's still full of bugs and constant glitches.”
- “Fun idea, but very buggy to the point that some of the games were not able to be completed.”
- “Chapter 1 → buggy with the maze portion as it kept removing us from the room; to put the bottle into the fire, you had to look up otherwise it wouldn't work; the puzzle with colors was cool but the hint to solve it was not fully formed - it was enough to get 1/5 colors but it was 50/50 on the remaining when there should have been a clue to actually give you the solution rather than process of elimination.”

Overall, the game has been criticized for its low replayability, with many players noting that once the initial experience is completed, there is little incentive to return. While some acknowledge the potential for new maps to enhance replay value, the static nature of puzzles and limited content after the first room significantly diminish the game's longevity. Suggestions for improvements include introducing randomized elements to increase replayability.
- “As it is an escape room, there isn't much replayability, which is what you would expect, but they keep coming out with new maps, so it was definitely worth the money.”
- “It has an in-depth feel and is definitely able to claim a replay value unlike many others in the genre.”
- “Would be neat if it could shuffle codes or order or something to make it replayable... maybe choose a seed and that is the path?”
- “As-is, you've got 3-4 hours of game and zero replayability.”
- “Low replayability and lack of depth of content after the first room.”
- “Tldr: I cannot recommend this game because it does not have any replay value and there are bugs that prevent you from completing it on the first try.”
