Gameplay is generally enjoyable, featuring fun mechanics like sound-based chasing and engaging jumps; however, players feel that the game requires better balancing in portal difficulties and cage mechanics. Additionally, a clear tutorial is needed to explain objectives and 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.”
- “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, but it could really use some balancing in the portal difficulties and cage mechanics.”
- “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.”

Players feel that the grinding mechanics in the game are excessively punishing, 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.”
- “The grinding in this game feels endless and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged. It often feels like a chore rather than an enjoyable part of the gameplay.”
