The gameplay is characterized by innovative locomotion mechanics and a unique non-euclidean space that enhances immersion, though it has received mixed feedback regarding its execution. While the procedural generation and combat mechanics keep players engaged, frustrations arise from random weapon mechanics and unclear energy management, leading to a sense of imbalance in gameplay experience. Overall, the game offers a customizable experience with varying difficulty levels, but some players find the AI and graphics lacking, detracting from the overall enjoyment.
- “The gameplay keeps you on your toes and keeps you engaged with its procedural generation, amazing set pieces that show up intermittently, and its interesting attrition-style combat.”
- “This is a very interesting game with a fascinating locomotion mechanic where space is wrapped upon itself, expanding your play space into an 'impossible' 5D world.”
- “Great level of gameplay customization here - three main flavors of experience with the tour, action-story, and roguelite modes, and plenty of difficulty and playspace options as well.”
- “I really wish to like this game as I was really hyped after playing the demo and had it on my watch list for when it came out; however, halfway through the game I was getting very bored and frustrated with a fair amount of the mechanics.”
- “But the nail in the coffin was definitely those gun mechanics. So many times I've wanted to just simply throw away the weapons and be stuck with my bare fists, as every time when I really needed to shoot was during the wide open sections where a long-range single shot precise pistol is required, and most of the time I can bet that you won't have those weapons as you've been restricted to close quarters areas and been given shotgun-like projectiles.”
- “Even if we try to leave out the graphics, the gameplay mechanics felt poor to me too - opponents have very bad AI, and I kind of lost all interest in the game.”

The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its immersive storytelling and innovative use of "impossible space" mechanics, while others find the narrative simple and the visuals lacking. Although the voice acting and environmental storytelling are praised, frustrations arise from the game's graphics and certain gameplay mechanics that detract from the overall experience. Overall, while the story has potential and engages some players, it leaves others feeling disappointed and disconnected.
- “The full version has a storyline, voice acting, and much more trick usage of room scale to keep you immersed.”
- “I think the best part of the game, though, is its way of storytelling.”
- “Beyond the gripping story, what sets this game apart is the innovative use of 'impossible space' mechanics – something I sincerely hope to see in future games.”
- “But when it reaches that point where both the story and visuals don't make it very clear to me, I just end up seeing and hearing noise, become quickly disinterested in it, and just decide to get through for the sake of completion.”
- “I may still come back to this game and play some endless customized mode, but for now, I just feel disappointed and disinterested in the story and visual art of the game.”
- “I really wanted to like this game for the locomotion mechanics and the dune-like sci-fi story, but the graphics are simply the worst I have ever seen in a VR game, and the opponents are beyond poor too.”
