The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it immersive and well-crafted, while others describe it as predictable and lacking depth. Many appreciate the atmosphere and clever puzzle integration, but some feel it could benefit from more player choices and a stronger emotional impact. Overall, the narrative is seen as decent, with moments of intrigue and surprise, though it may not break new ground in storytelling.
“The game has exceeded my expectations a lot, it is immersive and the story is cool for me.”
“The game atmosphere is nice and dark and it is also well prepared for the story lovers.”
“I don't want to give spoilers, but the story is quite interesting and the end is quite surprising. Congratulations to the team, it reflects the time pretty well and even contains subtle messages and references in some parts.”
“The story is okayish, nothing new.”
“This game is so-so... I mean, the storyline is good but... I think it lacks music, has a massive wobble head (no option to turn it off), predictable jumpscares, and the madhouse & graveyard remind me of some places in another universe. Hope the studio can make a better game.”
“It's a really different game, not pure horror, not pure story, not pure adventure, not pure simulation.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its thrilling experience and stunning graphics, creating an engaging atmosphere. However, the integration of Twitch chat has faced significant issues, with frequent disconnections and disruptions that detract from the overall experience. Additionally, some mechanics, particularly in boss encounters, have been criticized for lacking depth and creativity.
“The gameplay is so thrilling, and the visuals are stunning.”
“The gameplay is thrilling, and the graphics are top-notch.”
“I tested the game yesterday and have to say that I really like the gameplay; the graphics run smoothly and are also nice to look at. The atmosphere goes well with the mood of the jump scares, and I also think it's nice that you can connect to the chat on Twitch. This gives the feeling that you are really there as a content creator and can also interact with your chat.”
“The mechanic for incorporating Twitch chat into the game is to appeal to streamers, but then the mechanic was broken and kept refreshing and erasing chat, then not booting up again.”
“The final boss is literally just the most exaggerated 'run from the farthest point to the other farthest point' - you don't even get to use a mechanic available during other 'chase sequences' to add flair to it.”
“During my time being stuck on this floor, I had this very large warning flashing across the screen (an in-game mechanic to tell you your connection to chat is lost). This was disorienting, especially for being visually impaired, and made it hard for me to attempt to find items that could potentially get me out of the situation.”
