The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some players finding them cheap-looking and lacking polish, while others appreciate the unique horror aesthetic and atmospheric artwork. Although the lighting and overall graphic quality are deemed acceptable for an indie title, many feel that the game could have benefited from further development to enhance visual elements and controls. Overall, the charm of the artwork contrasts with the criticisms of the game's graphical execution.
- “I love the weird horror aesthetic going on here and I think the game has a lot of charm.”
- “At least initially, the atmosphere is tense and foreboding, and the artwork decorating the abandoned house sets the scene and cranks up the tension.”
- “The graphic quality of the game is quite good and the lighting is okay.”
- “The graphics are cheap-looking and not very smooth.”
- “Specifically, a lot of the little improvements I expect from an indie game with weak (retro?...ish) graphics weren't there.”
- “You know, even though it is just an indie horror and it is about to bring you not the story or graphics, but I can barely understand why the developers didn't just sit with this game for a little more (developing it) and brought it here to the sheer public. That's strange at least.”

The game's story is widely criticized for being incoherent and lacking depth, with players noting a disjointed narrative that fails to provide context for the tasks they are asked to complete. Many reviewers express frustration over the absence of a meaningful plot, describing the experience as a series of aimless fetch quests rather than a cohesive story. Overall, the narrative is seen as a significant weakness, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “You know, even though it is just an indie horror and it is not about the story or graphics, I can barely understand why the developers didn’t just sit with this game a little longer to develop it before bringing it to the public. That’s strange, at least.”
- “What it really done to me is to be explained as a strange and psychotropic mix of non-understandable story and endless switching of the lights.”
- “Well, summing up this mess: scary moments here and there, no story, strange creatures and no real idea.”
- “The game has no story, and the game asks you to perform tasks with no reason why.”

- “The music is good but it's loud and unexpected.”
- “The game starts in a jeep with Russian music blasting; nothing else matters.”
- “In the beginning of the game, you have to drive a UAZ car in the forest with terrible controls, enjoy <10 fps on a 2012 PC, and listen to Russian punk-style music (I'm Russian too, but I do not like the punk music instead of Фёдор Чистяков's Ноль).”
- “-music- yeah.........right...........”

The gameplay is widely criticized for its lack of engaging mechanics and poor execution, with many players noting the absence of clear instructions and numerous technical issues, such as disappearing inventory items and unresponsive trigger points. The reliance on clichéd fetch quests and poorly animated creatures detracts from the overall experience, leading to a frustrating and unpolished game. Overall, it appears to be a disappointing asset flip with minimal effort put into creating a cohesive gameplay experience.
- “Here is the first 45 minutes of gameplay condensed down to 10 if you want to take a look.”
- “There are no instructions within the game as to what you are supposed to be doing; this becomes pretty obvious in my gameplay video.”
- “The creatures are almost borderline creepy, but they are animated poorly, and as the game progresses, they become almost laughable.”
- “This needs serious work on its basic mechanics and player guidance.”
- “This game is bad. A friend of mine gifted it to me saying 'play it and go in blind knowing nothing about it' and I got excited because I thought it would be good, but nah, it sucks. Nothing that chases you is remotely scary and it relies on cliché fetch quest style gameplay using stolen assets and art you can find on Google Images.”
- “The gameplay is complete garbage. It starts off just fine, but then inventory objects disappear, trigger points fail to activate so the game won't progress, the creatures are almost borderline creepy (almost... almost... call them creepy adjacent) but they are animated poorly, the models are terrible, and as the game progresses they become almost laughable.”
