The monetization strategy of the developers has been criticized for being unethical, as they allegedly engage in plagiarism by using uncredited assets from other creators, leading to accusations of cash grab practices and low-quality shovelware. This pattern of behavior raises concerns about the integrity of their business model.
“The developers here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets, so this is plagiarism as well as a cash grab.”
“Conglomerate 5/Safing have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab through this account or closely linked/alternate accounts.”

The gameplay has been criticized for its lack of coherence, as players must painstakingly adjust the radio in small increments while it unpredictably teleports, leading to a frustrating experience.
“The gameplay itself doesn't make sense; you must very slowly tune the radio bit by bit by pressing 'E' each time, but the radio keeps teleporting.”
“The controls are clunky and unresponsive, making it frustrating to navigate through the game.”
“The pacing of the gameplay is off, leading to long stretches of boredom followed by sudden, overwhelming challenges.”
