The game's story is criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with many reviewers noting that it relies heavily on "environmental storytelling" that fails to provide meaningful context or narrative. Players express frustration over repetitive enemies and a complete absence of plot or character interactions, leading to a disjointed experience that does not reflect the developer's claims of a unique storytelling approach. Overall, the narrative aspect is seen as severely lacking compared to contemporary titles.
“Not only that, but the game tells a story unlike any seen by contemporary pieces of AAA media, such as The Last of Us.”
“The developer's game description seems to justify this lack of plot as 'environmental storytelling', but there is very little in the environment to give any hints as to what's happening.”
“The plot is not reflected in the actual game whatsoever.”
“You'll get the same enemies over and over with no map, no menu, no story, no interactions with anyone or anything.”

The gameplay is characterized by a solid yet unremarkable experience, blending fast-paced shooter mechanics with dungeon crawler elements. While it features intense moments and some surreal scenes, players find the lack of direction and enemy diversity leads to a repetitive and sometimes frustrating experience.
“Provides intense gameplay with a couple of surreal scenes that were a really nice addition.”
“The gameplay itself is reminiscent of fast-paced shooters, while still abiding by the laws of a dungeon crawler.”
“The gameplay, while solid, isn't all that interesting.”
“It was fun for a bit, but the lack of direction makes the bigger levels hard to navigate, and the lack of diversity in enemies makes the gameplay boring.”
