The monetization strategy of these games is heavily criticized as exploitative and unethical, with developers accused of repackaging and selling low-quality, asset-flipped games as cash grabs. Users highlight a pattern of using premade templates and assets to create shovelware, often flooding platforms like Steam with subpar titles that lack originality and integrity. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as a blatant attempt to profit from others' work rather than offering genuine gaming experiences.
- “These guys do nothing but copy premade game templates and game tutorials, fill out a few things/stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, slap on an asset-flipped set of sprites/assets, and dump them on Steam and into cheap nasty shovelware game bundles as cash grabs.”
- “Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates and assets... at best, this is shovelware; at worst, it's a scam/cash grab.”
- “Diedemor Studio games/Laush Studio have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alt accounts.”

The graphics in the game have received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users criticizing the amateurish artwork and low visual quality, which detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, the lack of options for resolution and customization further compounds the issue, leaving players with no means to enhance the graphics. In contrast, a few reviews noted that while the graphics may not be sophisticated, they still found them appealing, suggesting a divide in player perception.
- “Cool and beautiful graphics, not complicated gameplay 8/10”
- “The artwork here is terrible; it's a hodge-podge of amateurish 'my first Wacom tablet' style drawings used instead of professional-looking game assets.”
- “It's unclear if this is due to a lack of budget to hire someone who can create graphical assets properly, or a lack of talent. Regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low, enough on its own to deter gamers.”
- “There's no way for gamers to try to improve the low-quality graphics.”

The story is criticized for being shallow and poorly executed, revolving around a convoluted plot of self-exorcism and demon possession that lacks depth and coherence. Reviewers note that the pacing is too fast and the narrative offers little guidance, contributing to an overall negative impression of the game's storytelling.
- “At any rate, the plot isn't that awesome - you have to do this kind of 'self-exorcism' because a medieval priest has been possessed by a demon. You've got to commit sins and kill the demon.”
- “This game is a complete mess, even the translations aren't done properly or are severely lacking. The game pace is way too fast with little to no help about what you should do. The story or concept behind this game is pretty shallow and has no depth.”
