The game's story is described as minimal and unsatisfying, ending on a cliffhanger that leaves players feeling unfulfilled.

Overall, the consensus is that the story is a weak point, contributing to an overall disappointing experience.

Most of the people I've seen got stuck on the 3rd chamber because you need a millimetric jump to pass. The story is unfinished, and I feel it won't be completed anytime soon.”

The monetization strategy employed by the developer has been criticized as unethical and exploitative, with accusations of using shell accounts to sell low-effort, asset-flipped games as cash grabs on platforms like Steam. Reviewers describe this practice as a form of shovelware, undermining the integrity of the gaming industry by profiting from the work of others without proper attribution or originality.
- “This guy does nothing but use multiple shell accounts to copy premade game templates and game tutorials, fill out a few things, stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, slap on an asset-flipped set of sprites/assets, and dump them on Steam and into cheap, nasty shovelware game bundles as cash grabs.”
- “Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates and assets... at best, this is shovelware; at worst, it's a scam/cash grab.”
- “The industry has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alternate accounts.”
