The gameplay is criticized for being repetitive and linear, as players follow a set path that leads to encounters with the same monster, resulting in a monotonous experience of constant running and evasion. This lack of variety ultimately leads to player fatigue and a sense of inevitability in the encounters.
“This game is flat; you take a path that leads you to another big room like at the beginning. You hear a monster scream, and finally, you meet it, only to run throughout the gameplay and always encounter the same monster no matter where you go. Even if you evade it, it will find you. In the end, you will get tired of running and let yourself die.”
“This game is boring; you follow a path that just leads to another large room like at the start. You hear a monster scream, and eventually, you meet it, only to spend the entire gameplay running away from the same monster, no matter where you go. Even if you manage to escape, it will track you down. Eventually, you will grow tired of running and just give up.”
