The gameplay is characterized by a compact area that enhances the trial-and-error experience, featuring three main structures to explore. The inclusion of quick escape routes from the killer adds a strategic layer, improving the overall flow and engagement of the game.
“There are basically 3 structures to explore, and two of them have ways to quickly escape if the killer becomes aware of you, which is a nice mechanic to have and assists the flow of the game.”
“The gameplay area is very small, which works well for this game, keeping the scope of trial and error much smaller.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized for being a cash grab, with accusations of plagiarism due to the lack of credit given to the original artists and developers of the assets used. This has led to negative perceptions of the game's integrity and value.
“The developers didn't credit any of the artists and real game developers who created the assets, so this is plagiarism, as well as a cash grab.”
“The monetization strategy feels exploitative, prioritizing profit over player experience.”
“It's frustrating to see so many paywalls and microtransactions in a game that could have been great without them.”

The story of the game is often compared to "Hello Neighbor," featuring a similar premise but set in a distinct atmosphere with a different antagonist and backstory. This resemblance suggests a familiar narrative structure while introducing unique elements to engage players.
“Overall, it's like the game 'Hello Neighbor'—well, almost exactly like that, except with a different atmosphere, a different enemy, and a different backstory.”
“The story feels recycled and lacks originality, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“The narrative is confusing and fails to provide a compelling reason to keep playing.”
