“The arm swing locomotion combined with headset facing direction movement creates an engaging shooting experience across 3-4 maps.”
“Cute 'spooky' atmosphere, but the gameplay is lacking.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for being unengaging and simplistic, with bland mazes and poor visibility that hinder navigation. Many players feel it lacks depth, resembling a children's game with minimal narrative, and the ending is viewed as a disappointing plot twist.
“It looks more interesting than it is; the mazes are very bland and hardly maze-like. The game is too dark to see, so if you get stuck, it's probably because the path you need to take is buried in shadow. The ending feels like a bad plot twist.”
“The game seems meant more for kids, but it consists of simple shooting and walking around the level, with no real story.”
