The gameplay centers on caring for the deceased and completing their requests, but its execution is poorly implemented, relying heavily on excessive, poorly written visual novel-style text instead of engaging mechanics. Additionally, bugs further hinder the experience, detracting from the game's potential and making the gameplay frustrating and tedious.
- “This game has a lot of fun potential, but there were a few bugs that I ran into that made the gameplay loop a little hard to play.”
- “The gameplay mechanics involve caring for the deceased, learning their stories, and fulfilling their requests to give them a peaceful afterlife, but none of this is implemented well at all... it's a bit of a disaster.”
- “The developers failed one of the most basic, fundamental requirements of game design: 'show, don't tell.' You'll spend a huge amount of time not playing the game, but clicking through endless lines of poorly written visual novel text cutscenes because the developers couldn't work out how to relate their narrative through the game mechanics, and decided instead it would be better to compete with reading a book for your time.”
- “The gameplay is bad and buggy even on a PC that doesn't lag with it.”

- “I do however enjoy the art style they use and would like to play if they can fix the issues.”
- “Edited: built new PC and really this game has nothing at all going for it besides a cutesy art style.”
- “The graphics aren't great, with low poly and low quality 2.5D assets cobbled together, accompanied by a very annoying camera angle and a clunky interface.”
- “At the lowest graphics settings, I get only 8-22 fps.”
- “Built a new PC and really, this game has nothing going for it besides a cutesy art style.”

The story is hindered by glitches that prevent players from progressing, such as being unable to leave the crafting table, access quest details, or advance key quests like Mabel's investigation of her flower shop. These issues disrupt the narrative flow and impact overall engagement.
- “The game is glitchy; you cannot suddenly leave the crafting table or open your book to see what tasks or quests you have to do.”
- “In Mabel's quest to find out if her flower shop still exists, I couldn't select the option to actually progress the quest with the shopkeeper.”
