The game is a fun and silly meme horror experience that provides some laughs and scares.
Despite its short length, it has innovative features like using a phone for menu options and a unique gameplay mechanic of following Momo's instructions.
It's cheap and can be entertaining for a quick playthrough, especially if you're looking for something lighthearted and spooky.

The game is extremely short, often completed in under 10 minutes, which leaves players wanting more content.
Graphics and overall quality feel low-budget, resembling a school project rather than a polished game.
The text messaging mechanic is painfully slow, and the game lacks replay value due to its simplicity and predictable jumpscares.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly in the medieval-themed areas where they must search for specific items under time constraints. Many express a desire for longer gameplay and improvements to reduce the repetitive nature of these tasks.
- “When you get to that one place where everything is medieval, it gets very tedious. I hate having to run around and look for one thing while being given a time limit. I think the developer should fix a lot of this game and maybe make it longer than 2 hours; I enjoy games that last longer.”
