story20 positive mentions

stability7 negative mentions

The game features stunning and diverse art styles along with an amazing soundtrack and great voice acting, creating a captivating and atmospheric horror experience.
The story and lore are deep, multi-layered, and emotionally engaging, offering a unique narrative that immerses players in complex characters and internet culture themes.
The puzzles are challenging, clever, and rewarding to solve, providing a cerebral experience that blends well with the horror elements and encourages exploration and theorycrafting.

The game launched with numerous bugs and technical issues including save problems and frustrating glitches, though the developers are actively working to fix them.
Some puzzles, especially in the desktop segments, can be overly obscure, counter-intuitive, and sometimes feel like guesswork without clear feedback, leading to player frustration.
The game has repetitive pacing issues such as excessive padding in puzzle sections and recurring unskippable chase sequences, which can drag the experience and limit replayability.

story
51 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
39% positive mentions, 55% neutral mentions, 6% negative mentions
The story is richly layered and captivating, blending an overarching plot with deep individual character arcs and extensive lore that rewards exploration and puzzle-solving. Its emotional depth evokes a wide range of feelings, from intrigue and fear to heartbreak, supported by immersive storytelling, art, and audio. While some find the pacing slow or the narrative obtuse at times, many appreciate the complexity and dedication behind the story, making it a compelling experience for those who enjoy unraveling mysteries.
- “The story is incredibly captivating and there's so much lore to dig through.”
- “The art, music, and gameplay all weave together to tell such a haunting and emotional story.”
- “The story is multi-layered, with a general plotline and individual storylines for each character, specifically those with chapters dedicated to them.”
- “The storytelling is obtuse by design, and if you want the concrete details of the game you spent $20 on, it’ll be at the price of admission to a Discord server and an hour’s worth of reading.”
- “Which wouldn't be as bad if we hadn't spent 10 hours on a single plot point.”
- “In the end, because you kind of piece together the story as you complete the rooms, I found the ending anticlimactic because it didn't share any information that hadn't already been shared; I found myself wanting there to be more.”
gameplay

17% positive mentions, 66% neutral mentions, 17% negative mentions
The gameplay is a unique blend of walking exploration, puzzle-solving, and occasional horror elements, offering a refreshing and varied experience across different levels. While some puzzles can be esoteric and mechanics occasionally confusing or buggy, they reward players who enjoy detective-style investigation and piecing together complex stories. Overall, the gameplay effectively integrates with the game's art, music, and narrative to create a stylish and emotionally engaging experience.
- “The art, music, and gameplay all weave together to tell such a haunting and emotional story.”
- “The game has three different styles of gameplay across seven (and a secret eighth) levels.”
- “It's way too cool and stylish to pass up on, and it's awesome seeing a 'mascot horror' game that has interesting and challenging gameplay.”
- “This is tough to recommend since the gameplay formula is 60% walking, 35% puzzle-solving, and 5% meaningful horror elements.”
- “You will not like this game if you dislike early internet lolspeak dialogue, puzzles that stump you, some jumpscares/chase scenes, themes of violence on women, less linear gameplay, puzzles without obvious objectives, or want to see a lot of gore.”
- “Gameplay can be a little buggy sometimes, but it's to be expected considering this is the studio's first ever game.”

stability
8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
13% positive mentions, -1% neutral mentions, 88% negative mentions
The game's stability has improved significantly over time, transitioning from being quite buggy and unclear to virtually bug-free after updates.

Players are encouraged to wait for updates for a smoother experience.
- “Once I got to the desktop parts of the game, it stopped feeling like a game and more like troubleshooting through an OS that makes me miss Windows 11.”
- “Very unclear and buggy to the point where I couldn't tell if it was bugged or if I just hadn't solved a puzzle.”
- “It seems like the game is not fully finished (at the time of writing this review); there is one loop that is currently closed because it is too buggy.”
