The gameplay is characterized by innovative puzzle mechanics, such as manipulating objects through unique tools and "quantum" positions, which keep the experience fresh and engaging. While some players found the mechanics initially unclear, they ultimately enjoyed the challenge and creativity involved in solving the puzzles. Overall, the game is praised for its charming design and inventive gameplay, making it a worthwhile experience for fans of first-person puzzle games.
- “Quite a neat puzzle game! I really like the use of 'quantum' positions of things as a puzzle mechanic; it's always fun to see.”
- “There are new mechanics popping up constantly to keep it fresh. I enjoyed it and think it's worth checking out if you like little puzzle platformers similar to others like Portal, Superliminal, and Quantum Conundrum!”
- “Using a range of unusual mechanics (pairs of spectacles that can show and manipulate different things, and 'winking' to change the state of objects with eyes), the player must pass a series of tests to escape a number of linked chambers.”
- “My only major critique is that the mechanics are not well explained, but everything is straightforward enough that I was able to figure it all out.”
- “Given the striking graphical style and the novel nature of the mechanics, it would be a shame if nothing more comes of these, though it might be difficult to construct a whole game (and lore?) around what are basically standalone mini-escape rooms.”
- “It took me a little while to get used to the mechanics and understand what I had to do at first, but once I did, it was a pleasure figuring out the puzzles.”
