The gameplay has received mixed feedback, with some players appreciating the unique horror mechanics and the support for small developers, while others criticize its lack of fluidity compared to similar titles like Phasmophobia. The revive mechanic adds an interesting twist, but its limited use can lead to frustration. Overall, the game offers intriguing ideas but may not meet everyone's expectations in terms of smoothness and depth.
“It's a bit steep at $9 for 1.3 hours, but I'd rather have my cash go to a small dev like this with interesting ideas that can take horror gameplay into fun directions.”
“You do seem to get a revive mechanic at the cost of a resource, but it only seems to work once; the second time I died, the option was greyed out, so I quit.”
“It's true that the gameplay isn't as fluid as some other games, but I like comparing it to games I love, like Phasmophobia, where you can't even run.”
