The gameplay of this idler game features a mix of basic mechanics typical of the genre, such as clicking to increase numbers and purchasing upgrades, alongside some unique elements like mini-games and interactive features that enhance the experience. While some players appreciate the effort put into crafting details and the variety of activities, others criticize the repetitive nature and lack of depth, suggesting that it can feel like a grind with limited innovation. Overall, the game offers a blend of fun and frustration, appealing to those who enjoy casual gameplay but may disappoint players seeking more complexity.
- “The gameplay loop is simple; you're building a haunted house, with each upgrade or milestone adding more to the house.”
- “There's plenty of mini-games to make your gameplay even more fun.”
- “Very great time-killer with mechanics that can get you to think and make your own choices; they even have good guides to help you get the hang of it!”
- “There's no gameplay, just clicking to make the numbers go up, repeating endlessly, punctuated by buying occasional upgrades to speed up the rate at which your numbers go up.”
- “The game is extremely repetitive and boring; the gameplay is basically the same throughout the entire thing. Once you understand what you have to do, it's just a grinding simulator for achievements.”
- “A lot of other idle/clicker games have a bunch of different mechanics (where you actually don't do the same thing over and over), which just makes me think the developers of this specific game are just absurdly lazy with gameplay design.”

The monetization aspect of the game is mixed; while some players appreciate the fair and non-intrusive microtransactions that support developers without hindering progress, others criticize it as a poorly balanced cash grab that becomes more apparent as gameplay progresses. Despite the presence of in-game purchases, many users feel that they are not necessary for enjoyment or advancement, although some express frustration with the game's mechanics and interface.

- “A feature-rich and heavily interactive idle game with a fun aesthetic, fair monetization, and generous offline progress.”

- “You can do everything without microtransactions, and believe me this is the best game of its kind (even better than Adventure Capitalist).”
- “I can see effort has been put into the mechanics and the minigames, but this game honestly comes across as a bit of a cash grab.”
- “This kind of cash grabbing becomes all the more obvious the further along you get, as everything takes longer...and longer...and longer...until one presumably either caves and buys things, or stops playing.”
- “Being sold microtransactions in a game this unrefined feels cheap, and it definitely wears on the eyes, especially with how overloaded the interface is.”
