    Gameplay is visually appealing with impressive animations and effective jumpscares, but it suffers from pacing issues, requiring players to wait excessively while running back and forth. The primary incentive to continue playing lies in collecting achievements, which can take time to unlock as players familiarize themselves with the controls and mechanics.

    • “I like how it looks, the animations and sounds are cool, the jumpscares work... and then the gameplay makes you wait for 10 minutes running back and forth until a bunch of flies spawn.”
    • “The real benefit to continuing playing this game is collecting some achievements which may take a while to get as soon as you master the controls and the mechanics of this game.”

    The graphics are praised for their unique art style and effective use of retro aesthetics, which enhance the game's atmosphere and contribute to its jump scares. Players appreciate the new ghost interactions that add depth to the visual experience, making it engaging despite the retro graphics.

    • “I really love the art style, the jump scares, and the new ghost interactions in each game you play.”
    • “The graphics are impressive, even with a retro style.”
    • “The art style is fantastic, enhancing the overall experience of the game.”
    • “The graphics are quite outdated and lack detail.”
    • “The retro graphics make it hard to immerse myself in the game.”
    • “While the art style is unique, the overall graphics feel underwhelming.”
