    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some praising its unique mechanics and atmosphere, while others criticize it for being repetitive and lacking depth. Many players feel that the gameplay loop becomes monotonous too quickly, detracting from the overall experience, despite the appealing graphics and sound design. Overall, while the concept is intriguing, the execution leaves much to be desired, leading to a lack of recommendation from several reviewers.

    • “Nice mechanics, surprising concept, paradoxically - great atmosphere, brilliant music.”
    • “I love the writing, the atmosphere, the gameplay, the sound design.”
    • “A strange game, the gameplay is simple but quite attractive; the message the game gives is okay.”
    • “Gameplay is dogshit and while the graphics and humor are cool, for how little content this game has, $7.99 is way too much. If it was $1 or $2, this review would be much less critical, but with the horrible gameplay and awful price tag, I just can't give this game a recommendation.”
    • “Unfortunately, the same praises can't be said about its mechanics.”
    • “Cut down the gameplay segments or add more variety.”
  • graphics12 mentions

    The graphics of the game effectively capture the nostalgic PS1 aesthetic, resonating well with fans of retro indie titles. While some players appreciate the old-school visuals for enhancing the game's psychological horror elements, others feel that the overall quality is inconsistent, with opinions varying on whether the graphics justify the game's price. Overall, the retro style is seen as a fitting choice that contributes to the game's atmosphere, despite mixed feelings about its execution.

    • “Captures that PS1 aesthetic pretty perfectly.”
    • “The game uses old-school graphics, which works really well in this scenario, since going through a dark fleshy pixelated tunnel successfully creates a feeling of discomfort and claustrophobia that I feel we would not get with an anatomically accurate colon with RTX and all those other fancy graphical innovations.”
    • “I had a few friends telling me it looks a bit bad, but I don't agree. I think the retro aesthetic and texture on the models are perfectly fine, and toward the end there are some neat visuals as well.”
    • “Ps1 graphics are absolutely making that comeback in the retro indie fashion.”
    • “Gameplay is terrible, and while the graphics and humor are cool for how little content this game has, $7.99 is way too much. If it were $1 or $2, this review would be much less critical, but with the horrible gameplay and awful price tag, I just can't recommend this game.”

  • atmosphere10 mentions

    The game's atmosphere is widely praised for its oppressive yet immersive qualities, enhanced by brilliant music and retro PS1 aesthetics. While it effectively creates a spooky, atmospheric horror experience, some players feel that the pacing can detract from narrative progression, leading to moments of repetitive gameplay. Overall, it is recommended for those seeking a unique and engaging atmospheric horror experience.

    • “Kinda spooky but there are no threats, so it's more of an atmospheric horror.”
    • “This game is fantastic when it comes to atmosphere.”
    • “I love the writing, the atmosphere, the gameplay, the sound design.”
    • “The atmosphere is oppressive, but I mean, you're up someone's ass, so you kind of want to do your job and get the heck out of there.”
    • “The biggest problem I have with it is that it just kind of wastes a lot of time. It took me almost 2 hours to finish, and most of it was just doing the same thing. Fine, you built the atmosphere with the isolation in the colon; it's all good, but I don't think it was necessary to keep me there for so long between the narrative progression.”
  • story10 mentions

    The story is generally well-received, with players appreciating its captivating nature and unexpected twists, particularly the psychological elements. While some found the narrative engaging and immersive, others felt that the gameplay length detracted from the overall experience, suggesting a desire for a more balanced approach.

    • “The story was captivating, and the ending took me by surprise.”
    • “The story is what reeled me in.”
    • “I thought the game wasted a bit too much time; I wish it was cheaper and shorter because I didn't need to clean the bowel for 15 minutes on each stage to get the immersion. If it was shorter, I would have the same experience with the story.”
    • “I wish you balanced the gameplay length with the story a bit more; I felt like I was doing the same thing too much, but otherwise, it was an interesting experience.”
    • “The psychological aspect of the game and the story were decent; I kind of saw the first twist, but I didn't see the second one.”

However, it is important to note that all tracks are copyrighted, leading to issues for streamers and content creators.

    • “Nice mechanics, surprising concept, paradoxically - great atmosphere, brilliant music.”

    • “The music is oppressive and unsettling, elevating the feeling of discomfort.”
