The gameplay features a casual stealth mechanic centered around the humorous quest of searching for pants, set in a richly detailed world that subtly critiques social class dynamics through the interactions of its citizens. While the stealth elements are considered decent, the depth of the environment adds an engaging layer to the overall experience.
“There's a good amount of depth to the little world Scott Ethington has put together beyond the main gameplay of sneakily searching for pants - the humorous quips of random citizens hide classist undertones of a world idolizing the haves and demonizing the have-nots.”
“The stealth gameplay is okay, a little casual.”

The game's story has received mixed feedback, with many users noting its lack of depth and plot, describing it as shallow and repetitive. Despite positive reviews and a decent Metacritic score, players feel that the narrative is minimal, primarily revolving around stealthily collecting items in a single map.
“The game has positive reviews and a 70 on Metacritic, yet it is super shallow, has no plot, and is very repetitive: you are basically going around one map stealthily to collect pants, that's it?”
“The story feels disjointed and lacks any real depth, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“I was expecting a rich narrative, but instead, I found a series of bland fetch quests with no real connection.”
