The gameplay is generally praised for its fun, engaging mechanics and simple controls, reminiscent of "Papers, Please," with a steady difficulty curve and unique character personalities. While many players appreciate the humor and fluidity, some express frustration with certain mechanics and a lack of clear instructions, leading to confusion. Overall, the game offers a solid and enjoyable experience, though some players desire additional gameplay elements and clearer tutorials.
“The gameplay is simple yet challenging, and the humor in the game is really well done for the most part.”
“Gameplay is fun and engaging, and there's enough challenge and more layers of gameplay added on later in the game so that it doesn't become stale.”
“I love the gameplay, graphics, core mechanics, and controls of the game; only thing I recommend is adding more gameplay elements.”
“I find this stupid game mechanic incredibly frustrating because that means there's no real way to win with a decent score, it's just completely up to RNG at this point, and down entirely to a 50/50 chance!”
“The controls are wonky, and you aren't told much about how some mechanics work so you must just... take a guess and pray you are right.”
“The game is good, I enjoy it, but my personal experience has been filled with bugs involving purgatory and sometimes elevators. I put the right creature in but it says I didn't and gives me a failed mark.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their charming pixelated style and attention to detail, contributing to an engaging and humorous aesthetic.

“This game has amazing graphics, and I really enjoy the pixelated theme to it.”
“The graphics aren't good enough for a game like this; to tell all these differences apart really fast, but I guess that's the point.”
“Incomprehensible menus (hint: learn to use words), potato graphics that make the game virtually unplayable (hint: brown guns on slightly-different-shade-of-brown background don't stand out too much), and generally a waste of time.”
“The low-quality graphics make it difficult to discern who to send to heaven and who to send to hell.”
