The game's story is characterized by a series of bizarre encounters and a fragmented narrative involving missing friends and corrupted townspeople, which some players find engaging despite its unpolished execution. While the plot may feel hastily constructed and reminiscent of classic titles like Mother and Earthbound, it manages to captivate a segment of players who appreciate its absurdity, even if the overall presentation is criticized as weak.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “You move from one bizarre encounter to the next, piecing together scraps of story involving missing friends, corrupted townspeople, and contaminated landscapes.”
- “But players expecting refined mechanics, deep storytelling, or modern quality-of-life features may find themselves at odds with the game’s deliberately unpolished structure.”
- “First of all, who even wrote this story? It's like the devs had 5 minutes to come up with it and were like, 'Yeah, just throw in some random plot and call it a day.' But like, I’m lowkey hooked on this nonsense.”

The music in the game is described as a mixed bag; while some players appreciate its ability to enhance the unsettling atmosphere and provide a relaxing experience, others find it unremarkable and indifferent, rating it as average and not essential to the gameplay. Overall, the soundtrack contributes to a tone that is both creepy and comedic, but opinions on its quality vary significantly.
- “Combined with a soundtrack and sound effects that reinforce the creeping weirdness, the world maintains a tone that swings between unsettling, campy, and oddly comedic.”
- “But honestly, the janky charm kinda got me and the music.”
- “The music is okayish (3.5/10): nothing good, nothing bad; I couldn't care less if there wasn't any music at all throughout the whole game.”
- “The soundtrack and sound effects reinforce the creeping weirdness, but the overall tone swings between unsettling, campy, and oddly comedic.”
- “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”

The game's pixel-art graphics evoke a nostalgic charm reminiscent of RPG Maker-era adventures, featuring small character sprites and colorful tilesets that celebrate a handmade aesthetic. However, the low-quality engine struggles with fullscreen display and lacks HD support or customization options, which may disappoint modern gamers seeking higher graphical fidelity.
- “The pixel-art presentation enhances this charm: the game deliberately evokes the look and feel of RPG Maker-era adventures, complete with small character sprites, colorful tilesets, and a lovingly rough aesthetic that channels the handmade spirit of classic indie RPGs.”
- “As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer.”
- “Graphics???”

The gameplay is characterized by straightforward combat that emphasizes timing and movement over complex RPG mechanics, which may disappoint players seeking depth and modern features. While the turn-based system offers a nostalgic feel, the basic action-adventure mechanics in blue nightmare detract from the overall experience, leading to a perception of the game as unpolished and lacking in refinement.
- “While Red Nightmare could hide itself behind the turn-based, Mother-esque battle system, Blue Nightmare suffers because of the most basic action-adventure/RPG battle mechanics you can imagine.”
- “But players expecting refined mechanics, deep storytelling, or modern quality-of-life features may find themselves at odds with the game’s deliberately unpolished structure.”
- “While Red Nightmare could hide itself behind the turn-based, Mother-esque battle system (which is obviously easier to create by design), Blue Nightmare suffers because of the most basic action-adventure/RPG battle mechanics you can imagine.”
- “Combat is straightforward but serviceable, leaning on timing, movement, and simple weapon usage rather than deep RPG mechanics.”
