The gameplay is criticized for being dull and limited, with janky physics and frame rate issues that detract from the experience. While the audio enhances the atmosphere, much of the game feels more like a test of patience rather than engaging gameplay, reminiscent of traditional puzzle games. Overall, it lacks sufficient interactivity and horror elements to keep players invested.
“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.”
“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.”
“- not enough horror, meditative gameplay”
