The game suffers from poor optimization, causing performance issues such as stuttering during key moments, even on high-end systems. Players also report bugs and glitches impacting gameplay. Improvement in performance, bug fixes, and better in-game hints are needed for a smoother experience.

- “Optimizations are a must. I have a high-end rig and I could only keep 60 fps on low settings, which is insane.”
- “I'm still giving this a thumbs up even though it has a lot of bugs, writing errors like spelling and punctuation, and performance problems. For example, when the spirit attacks you, it stutters for a while, but I really think it's a good game.”

The game suffers from numerous stability issues, including frequent glitches and cumbersome progress requirements that disrupt gameplay. These problems, combined with repetitive map design and uninspired jump scares, contribute to a frustrating and less enjoyable experience.
- “The game is very slow and gets boring very quickly. It is filled with glitches; for example, if you die in the attic, you have to save your game, leave, then come back to get the file, save, then get the gloves, save, and lastly get the hand-watch and save again. After all that, you still can't burn the stuff. You need a perfect run to finish the game, which takes the fun out of it.”
