The graphics in the game have received largely negative feedback, with many users criticizing the low resolution and pixelated visuals, likening them to outdated assets from the early '90s. While some acknowledge a slight improvement over similar titles, the overall aesthetic is seen as repetitive and lacking in variety, failing to impress compared to classic games like Doom.
- “The graphics are a bit better in this game, albeit nothing astounding.”
- “Pretty difficult game, old-school graphics and screamers.”
- “Also, like every other raycasting game maker asset flip, the resolution and controls are locked and can't be changed, and the graphics are horrible, low-resolution 'pixel' trash.”
- “There are only a couple of types of enemies and a lot of repetition of the same horror sound effects and pixelated bloody graphics.”
- “Back in '93, the original Doom looked nicer than this, but Psi still does a decent job at imitating the retro aesthetic that it has clearly been inspired by.”

The gameplay is characterized by straightforward first-person shooting mechanics against sprite-based enemies in small 2D levels, reminiscent of classic titles like Wolfenstein 3D. While it offers a brief and enjoyable experience, lasting around half an hour, it lacks significant innovation compared to its predecessor, limiting its replay value.
- “Gameplay consists of simple, single-plane FPS shooting against sprite-based enemies on small 2D levels, reminiscent of Wolfenstein 3D.”
- “It's kind of fun to play through once, but you'll be lucky to get more than half an hour of gameplay out of it.”
- “Gameplay consists of simple single-plane FPS shooting against sprite-based enemies on small 2D levels, just like Wolfenstein 3D.”
- “Gameplay boils down to running and shooting.”
- “It's kind of fun to play through once, but you'll be lucky to get more than half an hour of gameplay out of it, and it doesn't add enough to what the first Psi Project brought to the table.”

The monetization strategy employed by Conglomerate 5 and associated developers has been criticized as unethical, with accusations of flooding Steam with low-quality, asset-flipped games as cash grabs. These games often feature poor localization and are accompanied by fake reviews, indicating a pattern of exploitation rather than genuine game development.
- “Conglomerate 5/vyacheslav shilikhin have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alternate accounts.”
- “It's pure trash, and while the intent of the construction kit was to make small games to pass around with friends and to teach some aspects of game making, unethical developers will dump the games on Steam as cash grabs.”
- “They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
