The gameplay has received mixed feedback, with some praising the potential of its mechanics and design choices, while others criticize the lack of polish, environmental interaction, and overall exploration. Many reviewers noted that the demo feels unfinished, with unrefined mechanics and a weak narrative, leading to a disappointing experience, particularly with the first boss encounter. However, there is hope that these issues can be addressed in the full release, as some elements show promise.

- “All gameplay mechanics feel unpolished, there's zero exploration, the story doesn't exist, the first boss is terrible, and I stopped wasting my time on it in the middle of level 2.”
