The gameplay is noted for its unique and engaging mechanics, such as backtracking to retrieve lost items and combining mechanical skill with logic. While some players find the experience disorienting and the atmosphere stressful due to certain sounds, the overall gameplay is considered fun, simple, and satisfying despite its short duration.
- “Taking away these minimal details, and I don't know if the game does it on purpose, but it's nice to have the mechanism of having to go back to collect some things we lost. Even if the game continues to be confusing and you're just thrown into this world of nothingness, it gives a fascinating feeling of being lost and disoriented in this new world. It's a game that has great potential.”
- “This game combines mechanical skill and logic.”
- “Very fun and simple mechanic executed rather well.”

The game lacks a substantial soundtrack, with no music during gameplay despite having music in the trailer. Players find the character's repeated jumping noises annoying and would appreciate an option to disable them. Overall, the minimal audio design contributes to a sense of emptiness and can be stressful for some.
- “The game is very empty in terms of soundtrack; while I was playing, there was no music at all. Besides the confusing gameplay, the noises the mess makes every time it jumps are annoying as hell. It would be great to have an option to disable this noise because it is becoming unbearable.”
- “I don't mind the character noises she makes every time she jumps and during other abilities, but the game lacks the trailer music in over 22 minutes of gameplay. The absence of music combined with stressful noises makes it hard to continue playing.”
- “The game is confusing and feels like a world of nothingness. The lack of music combined with annoying character jump noises creates a stressful experience that discourages further play, despite the game's great potential.”
