The gameplay is generally well-received, praised for its engaging mechanics and immersive storytelling, though some players have raised concerns about the flashlight usability being tied to the backpack, which can hinder navigation in dark areas. The game effectively balances simplicity with tension, as players must evade a relentless main monster, enhancing the overall adrenaline rush and experience.
- “Amazing storytelling, atmosphere, and most of all gameplay.”
- “The game mechanics were easy to work with, leaving more room for the player to fully engross themselves into the depths of the story.”
- “I think this game was fine, it was a good enough experience that felt worth going through, but with it came some complaints that should be hopefully addressed. First and foremost is the flashlight usability; I think that the flashlight mechanic shouldn't be tied to whether you have your backpack equipped or not. There were times where running from the main monster in the game was the only option, and it felt near impossible to run properly because of how incredibly dark the main school is. Not having the ability to use your flashlight to navigate properly is such an odd design choice/oversight.”
- “The gameplay is pretty simple, but the main monster is incredibly threatening and will always find a way to get to you.”
- “Having this mechanic lets the player run away while still punishing you for getting caught in the first place.”
