  • music
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with many praising its ability to enhance the atmosphere, particularly its spooky and moody qualities.

    • “The art style, music, and overall ambience make this an astounding game...and it’s free.”
    • “My only complaints are in the lack of feedback when you take (and deal) damage and a difficult UI, and overall the dark, moody visuals and music make for a great experience.”
    • “The low-key music and the dark, foggy visuals do a great job at selling a lonely atmosphere.”
    • “The environments are dull and samey, which is forgivable; the music, sound effects, and voice samples are repetitive, which is unacceptable; and the enemies are bland and boring, which is passable.”
    • “The music is spooky as is the atmosphere, but it's not really all that scary, just slightly creepy (we're talking like...a grain of salt in terms of severity).”
    • “Musical score, sound, and voice lines could still be improved and/or expanded on, along with combat animations and overall glitches, both in terms of UI, skill tree, and overall gameplay.”
  • atmosphere
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is widely praised for its effective combination of simplistic yet appealing graphics, dark visuals, and a fitting soundtrack that enhances the overall experience.

    • “The music is spooky as is the atmosphere, but it's not really all that scary, just slightly creepy (we're talking like...a grain of salt in terms of severity).”
  • stability
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is notably inconsistent, with players reporting various bugs and glitches, particularly during boss fights and visual issues like blinding fog. While some users found the experience enjoyable despite these problems, others struggled with hitbox inaccuracies and gameplay mechanics that hindered progress. Overall, the game shows promise but suffers from stability issues typical of a short development cycle.

    • “Currently very buggy, especially with visuals right now as you can't see anything due to an error with the fog being blindingly white.”
    • “One problem I had are the hitboxes; the game has bugs and glitches (not that it matters if you consider it is running on Unity), and I spent 20 tries to finish the boss, not because it was hard but because it is impossible to hit the horn at the end. I tried hitting it with the box, hitting it with my scythe, and I even tried climbing the horse; eventually, I gave up.”
    • “Even though the game can be a bit buggy, with abilities like reaper vision and enemy levitation just refusing to work, I like the idea of a stealth/action game with this aesthetic and theme.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's humor is characterized by its quirky and cute concept, which some players find amusing despite its oddity.

    • “Very little story, very little gameplay, absolutely no replay value.”
    • “Though it is a very short game and has no real replay value.”

  • optimization

  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

However, the overall ease of obtaining other achievements provides motivation, encouraging players to engage in grinding for longer play sessions.

    • “The 100 kills achievement feels a bit tedious; it only took about 5-10 minutes of dying and killing over and over. While the other achievements are easy to obtain, this one increased my playtime significantly.”
    • “Grinding in this game can be exhausting. The repetitive nature of killing the same enemies over and over just to progress feels like a chore rather than fun.”
    • “I found the grinding aspect to be overly tedious. It often feels like I'm just going through the motions without any real sense of accomplishment.”
