Gameplay reviews are mixed, with some players appreciating the smooth graphics and immersive atmosphere, particularly the integration of Twitch chat, which enhances the streaming experience. However, significant issues arise from the chat mechanic being unreliable, causing frustration, and the final boss encounter is criticized for being overly simplistic and lacking engaging mechanics. Overall, while the game has potential, technical flaws and design choices detract from the overall experience.
“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. 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.”
“Top tier graphics, story, and gameplay 10/10.”
“It actually has its own systems, etc. A faux Twitch stream panel is essential for the gameplay.”
“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.”
