The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity and vague mechanics, leaving players feeling uncertain about objectives and resource management, particularly during night sequences. While some appreciate the straightforward nature, others find it lacking depth and challenging due to unclear mechanics.
“The only reason I'm not recommending this game is because it's just a little beyond my skills at the moment. It looks good, the music is perfectly suited, and the gameplay is pretty straightforward; I'm just not skilled enough.”
“The night mechanic just feels rough; do I waste resources making eyes, or do I just hope that my traps are set up enough to survive?”
“Extremely simplistic gameplay with vague mechanics and no real objectives.”
