The story has potential and is generally liked by players, but many find it confusing due to unclear objectives and the impact of choices that aren't well communicated. Additionally, the lengthy prologue is criticized for being irrelevant to the main narrative, and frequent item loss can disrupt immersion and enjoyment. Overall, while the story has its merits, it suffers from execution issues that hinder player engagement.
- “I found myself liking the story, but I did not have any idea what I needed to do in several parts. The choices you make affect whether you win or lose without ever letting you know that you have other options.”
- “It's hard to feel the story when you lose a key item every time and need to restart.”
- “I found myself liking the story, but I did not have any idea what I needed to do in several parts. Also, the things you do affect whether you win or lose without ever letting on that you have other options.”
- “The prologue is too long and has no bearing on the rest of the story.”
- “It's hard to feel the story when you lose a key item every time and you need to restart.”

The gameplay is characterized as a walking simulator that draws comparisons to titles like 'Blind Spot' and 'Journey for Elysium', with some puzzles feeling similar. However, many users criticize the gameplay for being outdated, particularly due to the reliance on teleportation mechanics.
- “Gameplay-wise and as a walking simulator, it is between 'Blind Spot' and 'Journey for Elysium'; even some of the puzzles are nearly identical.”
- “The majority of the negative reviews are about the outdated gameplay, like teleportation... seriously?”

- “Some assets, especially the rocks and the far island visuals in the first entry level, were of very poor quality compared to the rest of the game.”

The game is generally well optimized, providing satisfactory performance on a GTX 1080. However, it lacks support for native Oculus drivers, which hinders optimal performance on the Rift CV1, and users with the Index may need to set resolution to 150% to avoid blurriness, leading to frequent motion smoothing issues.
- “This game is also well optimized.”
- “Performance using my GTX 1080 was fine, but using Index you'll need to set the resolution to 150% or the game looks blurry - and motion smoothing did kick in a lot using resolution 150%.”
- “Still, this game does not support native Oculus drivers, which is another grave error to achieve optimal Rift CV1 performance.”
- “This game does not support native Oculus drivers, which is a significant oversight for achieving optimal Rift CV1 performance.”
- “Performance using my GTX 1080 was fine, but with the Index, you'll need to set the resolution to 150% or the game looks blurry. Motion smoothing also kicked in a lot at that resolution.”
- “This game does not support native Oculus drivers, which is a significant oversight for achieving optimal Rift CV1 performance.”

Additionally, the reliance on teleportation for movement has been criticized as a negative aspect of gameplay.
- “The game looks good; however, on the Quest 2, it is quite jittery and freezes. I have 256GB, so memory shouldn't be the issue.”
- “It's also buggy and only uses teleport for movement, which is horrible.”
- “Do not listen to all of the negative reviews about being a 'buggy mess.'”
