Gameplay is characterized by a mix of thrilling and humorous elements, particularly with the killer's fast-paced mechanics that create a tense atmosphere. However, players express frustration over unclear mechanics and bugs, such as the killer spawning unexpectedly, which detracts from the overall experience and can lead to demotivation. Despite some players eventually grasping the strategies, the lack of clarity and technical issues hinder enjoyment.
“The killer has a very interesting mechanic where he runs at you very fast once activated; it's both scary and funny at the same time to be running from an old man.”
“The gameplay features unique generator mechanics reminiscent of 'Dead by Daylight', adding an engaging twist to the experience.”
“The mechanics and AI are intriguing, offering a fresh take on gameplay that keeps players on their toes.”
“This is a really scary game, but my friend and I did not understand how to run from it and heal each other. Half of the gameplay is unknown and it is very annoying and incomprehensible.”
“My friend and I have pretty much figured out the mechanics of the game and the strategy to beat it, but when the bad guy spawns on top of your head randomly and kills someone, it's extremely demotivating and made me quit the game.”
“The mechanics, AI, and networking seem to be done by someone who has just started learning how to do it and has zero experience or knowledge.”

The game is plagued by significant bugs that hinder gameplay, making it nearly impossible to complete. While some users find it acceptable for the low price, the instability, including issues with controls and character behavior, detracts from the overall experience.
“It's fine for the price (I bought it for a dollar), but it's extremely buggy to the point where it's almost impossible to beat.”
“Right now it is too buggy to really bother.”
“It is still quite buggy, such as when you press Esc and it brings your mouse up - but you can no longer turn around; you have to click and drag (which is only fixed if you click on a note).”
