The gameplay is characterized as a repetitive walking simulator with minimal crafting mechanics and flawed AI, leading to a frustrating experience. Players have noted issues with the character's movement and camera effects, which detract from immersion and enjoyment. Overall, while some aspects may not significantly hinder gameplay, they contribute to a lackluster experience.
“It's a repetitive walking simulator with a bare bones crafting mechanic and broken AI.”
“As it is now, I died in a tedious (but realistically almost unavoidable) manner at the hands of a creature that was more annoying than spooky, and didn't really care because the gameplay and overall experience had begun to grate on me anyway.”
“Walking mechanic sucks...basically your character walks like he is drunk or something, same with the shaking camera effect; it's horrible.”

The music in the game has received mixed feedback; while some players appreciate the ability to adjust the volume and mute it for a more immersive experience, others feel that the music can disrupt the atmosphere, particularly when it starts unexpectedly. Overall, the composition has garnered affection from some users, highlighting its emotional impact.
“A solid positive for me is the ability to adjust volume (including muting the music, which made the environment more immersive) and to disable head-bob.”
“Whoever made the music, I have a message for you: I love you.”
“After playing for 5 minutes, the music decided to start playing and destroying the whole backrooms mood.”

“The inclusion of a distinct story element was a good choice, but the voice acting could use some improvement.”

The graphics are praised for their appealing design, opting for a PS3-era aesthetic rather than the ultra-realistic approach common in many backrooms games. This choice contributes to a unique visual style that resonates well with players.
“The graphics are really nice too; instead of trying to go for the 'ultra realistic' stuff that most backrooms games are aiming for (which isn't a bad thing!), this one opts for a more PS3 era aesthetic.”
