Gameplay is initially confusing due to minimal guidance and lack of tutorials, requiring players to learn through observation and trial. While some find the gameplay loop repetitive or frustrating, others appreciate the evolving challenge and potential for deeper mechanics, though improvements like a run feature and balanced enemy detection are suggested. Overall, the gameplay is solid but could benefit from additional depth and refinement.
- “The game does not hold your hand or explain mechanics well, so I can understand some people's confusion. However, the gameplay itself evolves through learning how the NPCs act and operate, so I don't see a real problem with it.”
- “Overall, it's a solid one-shot horror game, but honestly, it demands a sequel where it blends its gameplay with some actual farming and lore exploring.”
- “I really gave this a shot and it started really strong and promising but the gameplay loop ended up being more of a chore than an actual game.”
- “The thing I don't understand is why no run mechanic was added to the game when you need to avoid the cops patrolling around or why the line of sight of the officers was not tweaked to where it is to the point of seeing you out of nowhere.”
- “The lack of any kind of tutorial or intro was a bit disorienting at first and slowed down the gameplay for me, but once I figured things out, I started to really enjoy it.”
