The gameplay is criticized for its simplicity and lack of challenge, particularly in the initial stages where there is no tangible threat. Players feel that the absence of guidance or tips prolongs the experience unnecessarily, leading to a negative overall impression, especially given the low price point.
“Yes, the gameplay is simple.”
“If the dev would maybe add some sort of guide or tips along the way, it would save you around at least 1 hour to 1 and a half hours of gameplay. Then again, this game was only $1.20 when I bought it; now it's $2.30.”
“There is no tangible threat for the first hour+ of the gameplay.”
“If the dev would maybe add some sort of guide/tips along the way, it would save you around at least 1 hour of 1 1/2 hours of gameplay.”
“Pretty stupid gameplay based on that you must move in a fully empty city and collect relics.”

“So for the price and a really good atmosphere, yes I recommend this game that's valued at two Arizona iced teas!”
“When that thing greeted me under the table of the starting house, I jumped in my seat because the atmosphere had me so tensed up.”
