The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many praising its overall fun and engaging mechanics, as well as the atmospheric design. However, some players found certain new mechanics frustrating and poorly integrated, particularly a late-game combat feature that is difficult to control. While the game offers a fresh experience with its unique flair, it also suffers from moments of monotony and confusion in its mechanics.
- “The gameplay is excellent, the graphics are amazing, the sounds are amazing, and the story is excellent!”
- “The gameplay is really good and feels like it has its own flair instead of being another 2D pixel game, and the atmosphere only enhances this.”
- “A brilliant horror/platformer with some very tense gameplay.”
- “There is a new combat mechanic introduced towards the end which maps terribly to the controls and can't be remapped.”
- “Also, those coins are a pain to get, especially the one with the orphanage director or whatever the role name is. A lot of times it felt like the game mechanics were sabotaging my attempts, and not my skill, but well, maybe I was just bad.”
- “Don't get me wrong, there are parts that have good atmosphere and are genuinely spooky, but instead of taking the simple mechanics of the first game and building on them, this game adds a bunch of new mechanics in ways that don't really mesh well and frequently are actually fairly frustrating, and also are only present for intermittent sections which makes them feel even more out of place.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and time-consuming, often due to challenging puzzles and the difficulty of avoiding in-game obstacles.

While some appreciate the new chapters, the overall sentiment is that the grinding can detract from the enjoyment of the game.
- “A lot of the stuff I had to do took a long time because either the ladies catch you really easily and I had no idea how to get away from them, or the puzzles were so tedious with precise ways of executing them that I was often sent back because I made the slightest movement too far to one side, and you can tell that gets pretty infuriating after a long time.”
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “So yeah, pretty much the only downside to this game, in my opinion, is that some of the bits are kinda tedious.”

The game offers a decent level of replayability due to its numerous easter eggs, collectibles, and multiple endings, making it enjoyable for players seeking to explore all content. However, once players have unlocked all secrets and endings, the replay value diminishes, though the experience remains fun. Overall, while it may be shorter than desired, the engaging story and additional content justify the investment.
- “It's a little short, but there are plenty of easter eggs, collectibles, and endings that make it replayable.”
- “It is worth the money; this game is longer than the first part and has an interesting story, plus extra secret endings. I would say that the only problem is that once you get all the endings and secrets, there isn't that much replay value, but it's still fun!”
