The gameplay has been widely criticized for its poor mechanics, including broken hitboxes and nonexistent combat, leading to a frustrating experience.

“Stay away, not worth playing even if it was free. Mechanics are broken, combat is non-existent, hitboxes are all over the place, and gun sounds are terrible. You get the idea; this is a broken mess.”

Players have noted that while the game features intriguing themes, such as a humorous yet morbid chicken with a gun, its slow performance detracts from the overall experience. To improve optimization, it is suggested that distant objects be rendered as lower detail (LOD) to allow for higher quality settings without causing engine spikes.
“All distant objects in the game should be turned to LOD for maximum performance, allowing you to set the quality to ultra without the engine spiking.”
“There is something about a chicken with a gun on that billboard, which is a perfect example of the kind of potentially morbid and humorous themes I would like to see from the game, but I can't experience them because of the game's slow performance.”
“All distant objects in the game should be turned to LOD for maximum performance, so you can set the quality to ultra without the engine spiking.”
