The story is generally considered simplistic and somewhat underwhelming, particularly due to a disappointing ending that may stem from the game's short length. While the scares are effective, players express a desire for a more developed narrative with deeper characters and a longer playtime to enhance the overall experience.
- “Wonderful scares with simple graphics and storytelling.”
- “The story was okay, but the ending seemed to be a bit of a letdown (but only because the game was so short, it probably didn't have many options for an ending).”
- “The plot is simplistic.”
- “It would be neat to see him tackle a longer project, one that took a few hours to play through, had a deeper story and characters, and could fully exploit the gradual buildup and payoff.”

The graphics of the game are primarily retro pixel art, reminiscent of 16-bit style, which some users find basic and lacking in originality. While the simplistic visuals are functional and contribute to the game's atmosphere, particularly in delivering scares, they may not appeal to those seeking more modern or polished graphics.
- “The game engine is functional, and the 16-bit-style graphics work well.”
- “Wonderful scares with simple graphics and storytelling.”
- “The game maker studio templates he keeps re-releasing are just basic retro pixel graphics. Couldn't he use a template with proper graphics for a 2D top-down/platformer stealth/action game?”
- “The graphics feel outdated and lack the polish expected from modern games.”
- “The art style is inconsistent, making it hard to immerse myself in the game world.”

- “Rehashing the same game over and over again is just a cheap, nasty cash grab.”
- “It's unclear why Anamik Majumdar has been misleading about these templated cash grabs.”
- “As usual, my recommendation is to never give money to asset flippers and construction kit copy-paste cash grabs, so don't reward this one.”
