    The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the atmosphere and decent visuals, particularly for a VR experience, while others criticize poor lighting, misaligned elements, and overall lackluster quality.

  • story9 mentions

    The game's story is described as engaging yet underdeveloped, providing just enough intrigue to maintain player interest without delivering a substantial narrative payoff.

    • “I did like that the game had more of a plot than some other escape rooms I've played, and the voice acting was a welcome addition.”
    • “I’d say the main focus here is the storytelling, and it’s delivered mainly through inner dialogue with great voice acting, but also with set pieces in the game.”
    • “But the story never really amounts to much, so story alone isn't enough to recommend the game.”
    • “The story is also not really needed since it doesn't go anywhere.”
    • “I wish this was an early access with more to come; a story, more puzzles.”
