- The graphics are surprisingly nice for a $3 horror game, contributing to an enjoyable atmosphere.
- Puzzles are fair and well-designed, with helpful cues that prevent frustration.

- There is no mouse sensitivity slider, making controls difficult, and the loading screens are excessively long.

Gameplay features a charming little ghost character, but players may find it initially confusing due to the mechanics surrounding the flashlight, which functions as an item that must be swapped with others rather than being a constant light source.
“The most impressive gameplay is that the little ghost is really cute.”
“The gameplay was a bit tricky to understand at first, because it was not clear that the flashlight is an item in the same way that keys and other items are; that is, your light source is not constantly in your hand, but has to be switched with other items when those other items need to be used.”
“The controls felt clunky and unresponsive, making it frustrating to navigate through the environment.”
“I found the combat mechanics to be poorly designed, leading to a lack of engagement and enjoyment during battles.”
