The gameplay is characterized by quick rounds and a fun, social atmosphere, making it suitable as a party game, though it lacks depth and coherence. While the mechanics and crowd interactions are enjoyable, the experience is diminished by phone players who can be more of a nuisance than a contribution. Overall, it offers a lighthearted multiplayer experience but is considered to have limited value beyond a low price point.
“The game mechanics are great and the traps and triggers the crowd have a lot of fun.”
“Honestly, phone players do nothing more than annoy the VR player, it doesn't really add anything to the gameplay, but of course it makes it fun since it's 'technically' multiplayer and is a great social experience.”
“Not a ton of gameplay and the rounds will go quickly, but still an awesome little party game.”
“The gameplay generally does not make much sense.”
“It has a cool atmosphere but not worth more than $2 or $3 in gameplay.”

“Very unstable game, terrible performance, feeling dizzy after 15 minutes of playing this 20fps slideshow.”
“Only two maps, snap movement that flashes in a way that really drives up the chance of motion sickness, and some nasty performance issues that pop in even on a high-end PC.”

Many users express that the game lacks replayability, particularly for solo VR players, making its full price seem unjustifiable. Some mention that significant discounts, like those during sales, make it more acceptable to purchase despite its limited replay value.
“I bought this game for like $4 thanks to my Steam winter sale tokens and Reiko being on sale; otherwise, the price is insane considering that this game has no replay value for a solo VR player.”
