The map is confusing and lacks fast travel, leading to tedious backtracking and navigation frustration throughout the game.
The storytelling and pacing are uneven, with an abrupt and unsatisfying ending, limited character development, and unclear objectives causing player confusion.

The game's story is intriguing and dark, often conveyed through a journal that players must follow closely, but it feels incomplete with many loose ends and a rushed or confusing ending. While some find it captivating and fitting for a spooky atmosphere, others see it as average or nonsensical, with limited character development and minimal dynamic events during gameplay. Overall, the narrative sets a creepy tone but may lack depth and resolution for those seeking a fully engaging plot.
- “I recommend playing the tutorial on this one, as I skipped it, and missed a couple of important points, such as the story unfolding almost entirely in our journal, and the fact that we're carrying something that we're periodically going to have to interact with.”
- “The story is about a mother and her young daughter who's been on a road trip, enjoying their free time, unfortunately, they had a car accident which caused the mother to lose her consciousness. When she regains it, she realizes her daughter went missing.”
- “This game features a great story line, beautiful locations and interactions that require thought and purpose, all of which make for a challenging, yet engaging experience.”
- “Most of the story is left unresolved at its conclusion.”
- “The plot is pretty nonsensical, and I just played my way through the game trying not to worry about the plot.”
- “The story is barely there unless you keep up with your notes, and other than the opening area, most areas aren't too dynamic and don't have events or scares.”

The music in the game is atmospheric and effectively enhances the creepy, dark mood, though it tends to be repetitive with only one main theme. Volume controls for music and sound effects are available, allowing players to adjust the balance to their preference.

- “Puzzles are a little too easy for my liking, but the hog scenes are fantastic and the atmosphere & music are spot on if you like dark stuff.”
- “As with most hogs by the big two, this game has a nice music score that blends a bit of stock with a bit of new.”
- “The ending scene had no music or sound effects whatsoever; all that played during the crumbling was the mellow main menu music.”
