The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting its lack of depth and coherence.

Overall, the narrative is seen as the weakest part of the game, overshadowed by its gameplay and puzzles.
- “Overall, *sheeeroom* has a lot of potential—it’s got a strong atmosphere and a nice pace, but a little more polish on the controls, a bit more depth in the story, and some more challenging puzzles could make it something really special.”
- “I really enjoyed the creativity of this game, the puzzles are good, the story is simplistic and easy to get a grasp on, would recommend giving this game a try and also pet the dog!!”
- “Overall, I wouldn't recommend if you are looking for a clever puzzle game, but would recommend if you want a mysterious strange short story.”
- “Storywise, this is the weakest game from Lu that I have played so far, but in terms of gameplay, it is the best.”
- “The story doesn't really exist—you're just dropped in the game and you're left to interpret the meaning for yourself. This isn't bad on its own, but since the game is so short, there isn't enough story for you to be able to make a meaningful interpretation.”
- “The story isn't there yet, and neither are puzzles, so it's mostly just a walking sim.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the unique concept and art style, while others criticize the controls, high mouse sensitivity, and clunky mechanics that detract from the experience. Many find the gameplay to be short and lacking depth, suggesting that it could benefit from refinement to enhance player engagement. Overall, while the game has its merits, the execution of gameplay elements leaves much to be desired.
- “A short and surreal adventure, easy gameplay, cool soundtrack and nice art.”
- “Storywise this is the weakest game from Lu that I have played so far, but in terms of gameplay it is the best.”
- “In a game like this that basically only has gameplay and surprise factor going for it, those need to be refined and worthwhile.”
- “I'm only a quarter through the game (I think) and love the concept/style, but the UI and some mechanical issues are putting me off. Firstly, the mouse sensitivity is insanely high, and whenever you try to 'pause' the game (going into a side menu with two icons, one to save and the other to leave), you can still look around, so it doesn't really pause and it's pretty disorienting.”
- “A few players mentioned that the gameplay feels a bit clunky—like the disappearing cursor and issues with grabbing or placing objects.”
- “It's alright, though gameplay is short and quite dull.”

The game's optimization has been criticized for being poor, leading to significant lag and performance issues that detract from the overall experience. Despite a visually appealing aesthetic and character design, the lack of complexity in puzzles and the game's barebones feel further highlight the optimization shortcomings. Players are left hoping for improvements to ensure smoother gameplay.
- “That's something to definitely look into if you want to make sure the game runs smoothly for everyone.”
- “Nobody wants performance issues to distract from the experience, especially when the game's vibe is one of the key draws.”
- “Nobody wants performance issues to distract from the experience, especially when the game’s vibe is one of the key draws.”
- “Sadly, the game is way too laggy for what little polygons it has; it's really badly optimized. Some levels were borderline unplayable, and the puzzles aren't there yet. Most of them are just based on moving objects from one place to another (which, to be fair, is used later as a joke, so I guess the dev is aware) or picking up objects. There were only 2 puzzles, and they were pretty easy. The aesthetic is fine; I liked the character sprites, but the 3D filter was a little annoying, and the whole thing looks pretty barebones.”
