The monetization strategy of the game primarily revolves around ads, particularly for hints, which players can choose to watch voluntarily. While many users appreciate the non-intrusive nature of the ads—only appearing when hints are requested—some express frustration over the frequency and length of these ads, especially when they lead to glitches or crashes. Overall, the game is seen as a fair trade-off for a free experience, though opinions vary on how well the ads are integrated into gameplay.
- “And no ads unless you want a hint, which already deserves 5 stars in my books.”
- “There are no ads present unless you choose to take an ad for a clue.”
- “No microtransactions, no renewable energy, none of those mobile game tropes.”
- “I feel like this is just an app to get you to watch ads for hints.”
- “The ads to get the hints are too long and when you need them so frequently, it all gets a bit tedious.”
- “The real problem is that there are ads twitching about under the game while you're trying to spot things in the frame, and sometimes when the game is launched it will get stuck going from one full-screen ad to the next, all with dismiss buttons so small that trying to hit them just opens the play store instead.”

Overall, while the story adds some intrigue, it often feels underwhelming compared to the gameplay experience.
- “The story was also very unique and had a twist that I've never seen in a game like this before.”
- “The story unfolds through the environment, making each discovery feel rewarding.”
- “Never played such a well-written escape game; the story is awesome and the fact that it has three endings makes it even better.”
- “You think it is one thing but it turns out to be a totally different goal and there was no storyline to let you know that or guide you in the right direction.”
- “There's basically no storyline going into the game, nor any real charm to give it any appeal.”

Overall, the gameplay is characterized by clever and challenging puzzles that require logical thinking, with many players appreciating the absence of intrusive ads and the smooth mechanics. However, some users noted issues with clunky controls, awkward camera angles, and performance problems on mobile devices, which detracted from the experience.

- “Quick gameplay (about an hour and a half), great challenges without being too hard, and easy to see graphics.”

- “Well thought out puzzles, clean graphics and intuitive gameplay.”
- “I knocked off a star because the game mechanics are clunky and the camera angle is awkward at times, making it hard to press/find objects.”
- “Gameplay on phone is terrible, the whole screen is too small to play on a mobile device.”
- “But it suffers from the failing of clues that you'll never figure out because they are so obscure, or depend on some UI mechanic you hadn't encountered yet.”

- “Beautiful graphics, lovely soft music that is theme appropriate, soft sound effects.”
- “I'm a little initially put off due to the sound cracking a bit just simply from the music.”
