The game features a variety of clever puzzles that are mostly logical and satisfying to solve, providing a rewarding experience.
The art style and atmosphere are well-designed, creating an engaging environment that enhances the overall experience.
The hint system is generally helpful, nudging players in the right direction without giving away the full solution, which maintains the challenge.

Many puzzles require illogical leaps of logic or are presented in a confusing manner, leading to frustration and reliance on external guides.
The story feels underdeveloped and lacks depth, with some narrative elements feeling clichéd or unsatisfying.
The hint system has a long cooldown and only provides one hint per puzzle, which can be frustrating when players are stuck and unsure of the next steps.

- “The story was compelling and had me hooked, as well as the puzzles being mostly comprehensive with still some tough ones to stump me.”

- “The story unfolds as you gain access to one room at a time, by solving all puzzles in each room.”
- “The storyline lacked in the end.”
- “The story didn't make any sense.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the unique and atmospheric soundtrack that enhances the spooky setting, while others found it repetitive and distracting. Many noted that the musical puzzles were particularly frustrating, especially for those unfamiliar with sheet music, leading to a less enjoyable experience overall. Despite the art style and soundtrack being well-executed, the integration of music into the gameplay was seen as flawed, detracting from the overall puzzle-solving experience.
- “Art style and soundtrack are on point; each space has its own vibes and feel yet still feels a part of the whole.”
- “Over a quick and easy escape room game that has great puzzles and music.”
- “Yes, perhaps it takes place in a big spooky mansion, and yes, it certainly leans on an unnerving soundtrack to develop and maintain a sense of lingering dread as the player explores the many hidden nooks and crannies while uncovering the secrets of Blackrock Manor, but it felt unique in its presentation.”
- “Minor control issues as well (just let me right click to leave a scene instead of pressing escape) and I eventually just had to mute the music because it was very lacking and became insufferable.”
- “The soundtrack is kind of jarring and repetitive as well.”
- “Only the music puzzles are kind of bad.”

Overall, the art style and soundtrack receive praise, though opinions on the stylization vary significantly among users.
- “The art style was a pleasant, seemingly cartoon-inspired 3D modeling that was equal parts charming and mystifying.”
- “The atmosphere and overall aesthetic were beautiful and immersive — clearly a lot of love went into the design.”

The gameplay features a mix of engaging puzzles and clunky mechanics, with a strong emphasis on clues rather than purely mechanical challenges. While the hint system is generally effective, it sometimes lacks clarity, leaving players uncertain about puzzle mechanics. Overall, the gameplay is enjoyable, especially for fans of similar titles, despite some minor technical issues.
- “I am a puzzle and escape room person to the core, so I am very familiar with escape room mechanics and how to solve most games.”
- “It's similar in gameplay and puzzles to Botany Manor and Escape from Mystwood Mansion, so if you like those, you'll like this.”
- “All in all, the gameplay was otherwise great!”
- “Mechanically, the puzzles are fine, but the logic, clues, and goal presentation are very bad.”
- “Additionally, while the hints were usually helpful, in some cases, they provided part of the answer without really explaining the mechanic behind the puzzle, meaning that if you were truly stuck, even getting a hint would still leave you guessing.”
- “Also, as a quick mechanical note, at two points, the avatar got stuck in doorways (the spiral staircase and the final vault door), which wouldn't let the player pass without significant maneuvering.”
