Overall, the game's stability appears to vary widely depending on the device and specific scenarios encountered.

“Absolutely loved this game! No glitches, no problems, and an average story.”
“Best game ever! No lag, no glitches, not a lot of videos. I love this game.”
“So, when I'm in the game playing, and I click the small radio for 30 seconds of invisibility, sometimes, just sometimes, when the ad is loading, it freezes me and I can't move until the ad loads, but the problem is it never loads, so I have to restart the chapter and it's annoying.”
“When I try to view an ad during 'the six' chapter, the game freezes and I have to exit it and reload, which was pretty annoying since I just got the 6th pendant and had to start over, great game otherwise!”

Overall, the gameplay is highly praised for its engaging mechanics, smooth controls, and entertaining minigames, making it a standout experience in the horror genre. However, some players expressed frustration with specific design choices, such as health not resetting in certain levels, and occasional control issues. Despite these minor criticisms, the game is considered challenging yet enjoyable, with a compelling story that enhances the overall experience.
“This game is awesome! I never thought that the game would be so great; I don't care about the graphics and all, it is based on the gameplay.”
“I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches. One of the best 2D horror games I've played so far, great gameplay mechanics and story, 10/10.”
“Entertaining gameplay; the story is interesting as well.”
“I love the game but I have a huge nitpick: during the underworld level, whenever you get hit, you lose health, and when you move to the next round, you stay that way. In other levels, your health resets. I don't like this at all because in other games I've seen, the health resets after you go through the next door. I hope you change this.”
“Ok, the problem is I feel like Mr. Hop is lurking and watching me, and I can't even continue the game. Maybe if you hadn't made the screen a little too dark, I would rather continue my gameplay. I'm not the only one who has this problem; my brother played this game and he got jumpscared. Next time, make your game less dark.”
“I played this since 2022, and in the middle of my gameplay, the controls started acting weird. Ever since, I deleted it, and then in 2023, I played the whole game with a good ending in a day.”

Overall, the game strikes a balance between fear and fun, making it appealing to those who appreciate both genres.
“I wuv this! It's not scary, but I hate dying. I really wanted to get the second medallion, but I died. The funny part is I made lots of sounds saying, 'I'm dancing, I'm dancing!' I was bored instead of collecting, so Esther decided to dance. Lol! 🤣”
“I really love jump scares because they spooked my friends and made me laugh! 😂😅🤣”
“Wow, this game is soooo scary, but it's funny.”

The music in the game is a polarizing aspect, with many players praising its creepy and unsettling qualities that enhance the horror experience, while others express frustration over the inability to play their own music during gameplay.

Overall, the music is recognized as a key element that adds to the game's tension and appeal, despite some technical limitations.
“I haven't even played the game yet but I've watched videos, and the unsettling pixel horror, the music, and the anthropomorphic toy animals are almost peaceful. Continue the work and I'm anxious to play the game.”
“Top tier horror game, love the creepy music and dark story.”
“I really love it! I love the song in the beginning when you go into the app :)”
“For me, the six is really hard because you need to jump over the toys and it's so annoying when I die, and the music is giving me nightmares. In my opinion, this game is cool, but it's just not for me, so I'm giving it 3 stars.”
“Great game, but you can't play any music while playing the game. It kind of sucks; I always play a game with music, and Mr. Hopps Playhouse 2 is kind of boring to me now because I can't play any music.”
“It was a lot of fun and hard, but mostly too scary. Did you hear the music? You will have nightmares.”

The story really gets to my heart, and I don't cry, but I'm a bit emotional, so it's a bit sad. Perfect though, good job! I really recommend it to people that like horror games and don't mind the hard parts of the game.”
