- “It's a really fun game, with a story that intrigued me enough that I continued playing to search for all the secrets and learn more about it; with each replay I did, I kept encountering brand new events and scares that didn't happen last time, keeping me on my toes the whole way through.”
- “Incredible short horror game with an interesting, tragic story.”
- “Pretty much the moment you start, you can guess the plot of the game as it reveals its hand extremely quickly.”

The game's atmosphere is praised for its rich lore, immersive animations, and effective voice work, which collectively enhance the experience, particularly in its horror elements. While many players appreciate the gradual build-up of tension and emotional depth, some feel that the pacing disrupts the transition from a lighthearted to a darker tone. Additionally, inconsistencies in audio quality can detract from the overall immersion, leaving some players wanting a more cohesive atmospheric experience.
- “This game has tons of lore, secrets, and scares, with the help of the atmosphere, of course.”
- “There are such gorgeous animations for the charming characters, great voice work (really had me immersed in the 2000s edutainment atmosphere), and a compelling proof of concept.”
- “Your game is very good, the horror atmosphere in relation to Sarah's story is well-crafted. I liked how little by little, the game became scary. I felt very sorry for Sarah at the end of the game.”
- “The plot happens too quickly though; there was too little time to set up the kiddy atmosphere before the horror vibe, and considering it seems like he's trying to protect the person playing, it comes off weird.”
- “I played without sound, so I assume I didn't experience the full atmosphere of the game.”
- “Even at the end, the quality changing between dialogue might feel unnerving to some, but even more tame parts of the game having a marginal difference doesn't help set up the world of the game, as it also breaks the atmosphere, especially with the final speech.”

The gameplay is primarily centered around quizzes, which some players feel are disconnected from the horror elements, serving more as a hurdle than an integrated experience. While the quizzes are simple and forgiving, the overall gameplay is described as enjoyable and well-executed, with effective mechanics like penalties for failure to enhance replayability. However, the experience is noted to be quite short, with limited gameplay depth and only one ending, leaving players wanting more in terms of story potential.
- “The gameplay itself is really simple (the quizzes are a bit difficult but pretty forgiving with the items), and overall it's a nice bitesize horror experience!!!”
- “Wonderful gameplay elements that flow well with everything else in the game.”
- “I also liked the penalty mechanic whenever you fail a quiz, to avoid repetitiveness when replaying it.”
- “It feels like the quiz was just a hurdle to be jumped to progress the game, instead of having the quizzes (the only real gameplay) being married to the horror.”
- “Really neat, albeit extremely short experience (and only one ending, as far as I can tell), not much actual gameplay, but so much potential when it comes to story.”
- “The gameplay itself is really simple (the quizzes are a bit difficult but pretty forgiving with the items), and overall it's a nice bitesize horror experience!”

- “Character designs are great, and the art and voices are stellar :)”
- “Either way, the character designs don't seem to fit the rest of the game's aesthetic at all.”
- “(Again here, the character designs were a flop for me. Seeing them trying to be all gritty and serious when the game gets scary just made me want to laugh. I just couldn't take them seriously at any point.)”
- “I'm sure things like voice acting will be improved regardless, and even though it's almost certainly too late to change character designs (it's not like they're objectively bad anyway), I get the feeling they'll at least look better in a fully polished project.”
