    The monetization approach is criticized for essentially using the product as an advertisement rather than a full game, misleading users by presenting a demo or ad as a standalone title. This tactic is seen as exploitative and detrimental to both gamers and the game market, offering little value beyond promoting a more costly main product. Overall, the monetization is viewed as deceptive and not recommended.

    • “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
    • “Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behaviour and it's not good for gamers.”
    • “This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game.”

    The graphics received mixed reviews, with some users criticizing poor visual decisions and dim lighting, while others appreciated the good graphics and level design. Overall, opinions on the graphics quality were divided, impacting the gameplay experience differently.

    • “Good graphics, good gameplay, good coop. Puzzles weren't too hard; only had to search one up. Not too scary.”
    • “Well, the graphics are nice. I think it's a little too dimly lit, but other than that, there are no complaints about the level design.”
    • “There were so many terrible graphical decisions, I cannot believe that someone did this.”
    • “Bad graphics, bad experience and multiplayer is very bad!”
