The atmosphere is generally described as unnerving, contributing to a tense experience, despite some sound issues. However, the absence of a flashlight detracts from the overall immersion, making exploration feel cumbersome.
“The atmosphere is fairly unnerving, even with the above mentioned sound issues.”
“A lack of a flashlight, which doesn't so much add to the atmosphere, but makes searching around for keys and what-not a bit of a chore.”

The gameplay is minimal and lacks depth, offering only about fifteen minutes of content that revolves around simple tasks like finding keys and interacting with keypads. While the protagonist's voice acting is entertaining, it does not compensate for the overall lack of engaging gameplay, making it unsuitable for players seeking a more substantial experience.
“Now if you like some actual gameplay in your games, look elsewhere.”
“There's really nothing to this aside from the hilarious voice acting of the protagonist that makes him sound like Solid Snake on the brink of climax. Fifteen minutes of gameplay, six keys, two keypads, one semi-jump scare, and a partridge in a pear tree.”

The game's stability is currently a significant issue, with users reporting numerous bugs and glitches that hinder the overall experience. Many reviewers express a lack of recommendation until the developer addresses these problems and implements necessary settings in the game menu.
“I would have to not recommend this game currently. This may change if the developer goes back and attempts to fix some of the bugs and glitches I mentioned above, and at the bare minimum includes some type of settings in the game menu.”

The humor in the game is primarily driven by the protagonist's over-the-top voice acting, which has been compared to a comedic take on Solid Snake. However, the gameplay itself is minimal, featuring a brief experience filled with mundane tasks and a few lighthearted elements.
“The hilarious voice acting of the protagonist makes him sound like Solid Snake on the brink of climax. Fifteen minutes of gameplay, six keys, two keypads, one semi-jump scare, and a partridge in a pear tree.”
