The gameplay is minimal and largely consists of navigating through poorly rendered watercolor scenes as a simplistic character, with occasional interactions like eating mushrooms. Players report significant technical issues, including crashes, and overall, the experience feels more like an art showcase than a traditional game, lasting only about 10 minutes.
- “Gameplay, such as it is, just involves plodding through various watercolor scenes as a crudely drawn dog and occasionally eating mushrooms, then having your PC crash because it's so badly made.”
- “There's very little in the way of gameplay here; it's hard to describe this as a proper game, and the intention is not to be a game, it's to show off some very mediocre high school art class dropout watercolors.”
- “About 10 minutes of gameplay.”
