The gameplay is characterized by fast-paced, intense battles that keep players engaged for hours, blending horror elements with solid mechanics. While the visuals may need improvement and the gameplay could benefit from more diversity, the handcrafted experience and unique atmosphere contribute to its appeal, making it a noteworthy entry in the horror battle royale genre.
