The gameplay is criticized for being dull and limited, with janky physics and frame rate issues, making it feel more like a puzzle game where players may spend more time stuck on episodes than engaging in meaningful interactions. While the audio enhances the atmosphere, the overall experience lacks sufficient horror elements and interactivity.
“Audio of the game actually fits the game quite well with a haunting style track or nice ambiance that doesn’t distract from the gameplay itself.”
“Much of the length of the game isn’t so much 'gameplay' but how long you will be stuck on an episode - this reminds me a lot of most puzzle games.”
“This is yet another low-budget indie-developed VR escape room type game with janky physics, very limited interactivity, frame rate issues, and dull gameplay.”
“Much of the length of the game isn’t so much 'gameplay' but how long you will be stuck on an episode - this reminds me a lot of most puzzle games.”
