The gameplay features standard point-and-click mechanics and includes a save-on-exit function, but it is criticized for being too short, resembling a slightly extended demo with only a few hours of content. Additionally, players have reported significant stability issues, with frequent crashes occurring during play.
“But, the game has 2 major flaws that I noticed - first is that it's definitely too short (I had the feeling that I was playing a slightly longer version of a demo, just a few hours of gameplay, and for experienced puzzle solvers even less).”

The game's story is generally considered interesting and enjoyable, particularly in the context of its puzzle-solving mechanics that unlock new areas and reveal backstory through notes and recordings. However, some players feel that the narrative is brief and can be bogged down by unnecessary details early on, detracting from the overall experience. Despite these criticisms, the core concept of the story is appreciated, and the puzzles are seen as a fun addition.

The music in the game is generally considered forgettable and often gets drowned out by sound effects, leading to a jarring audio experience. Additionally, some users noted that the voice acting lacks authenticity, with hints of AI-generated quality.
“The audio is often jarring or out of proportion - the music is forgettable (or inaudible if you adjust your volume to the sound effects), and some of the voice acting sounded like it was AI-generated.”
