The gameplay is generally enjoyable and offers a decent exploration experience, though it can be completed in 4-6 hours. While the health mechanic encourages cautious play, the overall difficulty is average. Animations may need improvement, but for a solo indie title, it provides good value for time and money.

“Not the most beautiful or story-rich gameplay, but for a solo-developed indie game, it's really worth your money and time.”
“The gameplay/story is alright, with many things to explore, although it will not take you more than 4-6 hours to fully complete it.”
“The health mechanic makes you want to play a bit too carefully, thus the game difficulty is just average, not too hard and not too easy.”
