The gameplay is fast-paced and offers a fun social experience, particularly in a party setting, but lacks depth and meaningful engagement, especially for phone players who may detract from the VR player's experience. While the mechanics and atmosphere are enjoyable, many feel the game is only worth a low price due to its limited gameplay content.
“Not a ton of gameplay and the rounds will go quickly, but still an awesome little party game.”
“The game mechanics are great, and the traps and triggers make the crowd have a lot of fun.”
“Honestly, phone players do nothing more than annoy the VR player, but it makes it fun since it's 'technically' multiplayer and is a great social experience.”
“The gameplay generally does not make much sense.”
“It has a cool atmosphere but not worth more than $2 or $3 in gameplay.”

“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.”
“Very unstable game, terrible performance, feeling dizzy after 15 minutes of playing this 20fps slideshow.”

Many users feel that the game lacks replayability, particularly for solo VR players, making it less worthwhile at its full price. While some found it a good deal during sales, the overall consensus is that the game does not offer enough content or variation to encourage multiple playthroughs.
“I bought this game for about $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.”
