The gameplay is described as experimental and somewhat unconventional, suggesting that the developers are becoming more adept at creating mechanics and atmosphere, though it still feels like a work in progress. Players may encounter challenges, as indicated by references to dying frequently during gameplay.
“This is an odd little game that feels like, not someone's first attempt at a game, but perhaps this is their 3rd or 4th time and they are starting to figure out a lot of the mechanics and atmosphere while experimenting with 3D games.”
“A strange mechanic.”
“I'm even including some noob gameplay where I most likely died far more than I needed to.”

The story revolves around the quest to collect five dolls to lift a curse of laziness and end a haunting, but it is criticized for being simplistic and lacking depth, drawing unfavorable comparisons to other games with similar collection mechanics.
“Somehow, for unexplained story reasons, finding all 5 dolls lifts the curse of 'laziness' and the haunting goes away.”
“The only difference here is instead of those 100 hentai sexy page collecting games, here you have to collect 5 statues or whatever they are to save your town. Wow, there's a story, wopty fuck.”

“The game itself is okay for the price, I guess, but the performance is pretty bad.”
“The controls are horrible and clunky; the optimization is terrible, regardless of whether it's set to ultra or low.”
