Gameplay is generally enjoyable, featuring fun mechanics like sound-based chases and engaging jumps. However, players feel the game requires better balancing in portal difficulties and cage mechanics, as well as a clearer tutorial to explain objectives and key mechanics, such as the "sight" mechanic for hiding from monsters.
- “The mechanics of making sound and getting chased is very fun and some of the jumps really got me.”
- “The game needs, at the very least, a text tutorial explaining what the objectives are and what the game mechanics are.”
- “If there is a 'sight' mechanic (e.g. hiding in the bush makes you invisible to monsters), the game should explicitly tell you that.”
- “All jokes aside, it's a cool game, just could really do with some balancing in the portal difficulties and cage mechanics.”

grinding

Players feel that the grinding in the game is excessive, leading to a tedious experience rather than an enjoyable challenge. The developers' intention to create a difficult game has backfired, making it feel unfair and discouraging progress.
- “The developers probably thought they needed to make the game unfair, because they worried if the game was too easy, players would beat it and move on. But ironically, I don't think I'll ever beat it because it's been taken too far in the opposite direction and becomes tedious rather than fun or enjoyable.”
