- Impressive use of sound design and high-definition visuals, creating uniquely immersive spaces.
- Each of the four worlds has a compelling concept with distinct tones and atmospheres, expertly crafted.
- Offers an unusual and introspective experience that leaves a memorable aftertaste.
- The game consists of very short experiences that some may consider more like tech demos than a full game.
- The content is limited, with less than an hour's worth of gameplay, making the price feel steep.
- Some players found the dialogue cringe-worthy and were left wanting more from the overall experience.
