Gameplay is heavily influenced by a flawed night/daytime mechanic that can disrupt puzzle-solving, particularly due to inconsistent reset behaviors. While the game starts off simply, it gradually increases in difficulty, encouraging players to think creatively, though the lack of guidance and a manual save feature detracts from the overall experience.
- “At the start, and depending on your experience with puzzle games, it might seem kind of basic, but since there's literally 0 text in the game and nobody to explain or guide you, after the first stage things start to get harder. It forces you to think outside the box to continue with the game, which I found to be an awesome mechanic that you don't find in this type of game nowadays.”
- “Half the game or more is reliant on a night/daytime mechanic which is quite broken.”
- “If you stand close to a puzzle's entity and step back too far, it will reset the puzzle. This is intended as a mechanic, but it is broken for nighttime.”
- “Night puzzles have a lit dot mechanic that does not reset when you step out of the puzzle, which means you'll have to run halfway around the map to find a daytime stone to hit, then run again to a night stone to reset the night puzzle.”

The game's music has been criticized for lacking proper audio controls, forcing players to use external methods to mute it. Reviewers suggest that instead of the current background music, more atmospheric sounds like birds or wind would better suit the game's environment.
- “Bewilderingly, the game doesn't include proper audio controls, so you can't turn off the annoying background music. You'll need to alt+tab out and stop the music using the Windows sound mixer.”
- “The game could benefit from some ambient sounds, like birds chirping or wind blowing, to better match the atmosphere of the stages.”
