  • The game features a unique and appealing retro PS1-style art and fixed camera angles reminiscent of classic survival horror games like Resident Evil, creating a strong nostalgic atmosphere.
  • It offers a short but engaging horror experience with a simple story based on true Indonesian folklore, providing an eerie and immersive environment.
  • The game includes some entertaining elements such as puns in the story and a distinct Indonesian cultural horror setting, appealing to fans of indie and local horror titles.
  • The controls are widely criticized as confusing and frustrating due to awkward tank control mixed with free movement and abrupt camera angle changes, making gameplay often feel unresponsive and difficult.
  • Several technical and design issues hinder the experience, including a lack of save system forcing one-sitting playthroughs, softlocks caused by ghost AI and cutscene bugs, and inconsistent pacing with annoying item hunts.
  • The dialogue presentation and voice acting are generally found irritating with rapid auto-progressing text, thin voice-over, and repetitive or unclear choice prompts that do not impact the story meaningfully.

    The story is a concise, straightforward horror narrative based on a true event, delivering an unsettling yet engaging experience in about 90 minutes. While some feel it jumps too quickly into tension without gradual buildup, others appreciate its classic horror vibe, subtle storytelling, and refreshing concept with occasional humor. Overall, it offers a brief but solid and addictive chilling tale suited for quick, immersive play sessions.

    • “The plot is simple yet just as addictive.”
    • “It's a short but solid horror experience, around 90 minutes long, and the fact that it's based on a true story makes it even more unsettling.”
    • “It respects your time while still delivering a complete experience with tension, subtle story beats, and a solid scare or two.”
    • “The story is quite basic and, while it could've worked, it went straight into 'something here is wrong!!!' too quickly.”
    • “I think it'd have worked better if the story had slowly let the player and main character realize that something is off in the spa.”
    • “Overall, I really like the art style and I think the developers can do a lot with this... but they need to let the story settle in a bit slower.”

    The gameplay offers an interesting concept and can be enjoyable once players get into its rhythm, but it feels basic and in need of improvement in areas like camera angles, controls, and map inclusion. While the survival horror and choice mechanics aim to add depth, they come across as simplistic and poorly integrated, leading to awkward transitions and diminished immersion. Overall, the gameplay is somewhat short, lacks meaningful choices, and could benefit from better design to enhance engagement and scare factor.

    • “On the plus side, the gameplay loop can be enjoyable once you get into the rhythm of it.”
    • “The unique gameplay angle, engaging mechanics, and immersive storytelling make it an unforgettable experience.”
    • “Konsepnya menarik bakal bikin banyak game berdasar kisah horor rakyat, untuk artstyle oke, gameplaynya standard aja tapi bisa diimprove di banyak hal seperti sudut pengambilan gambar, dan perlu adanya map.”
    • “The game is short, around 1.5 hours, and priced at US$5.99, making the core gameplay even shorter considering multiple deaths and streaming time.”
    • “The game is meant to be finished in one sitting, but complicated controls combined with survival mechanics make it hard to be patient.”
    • “The game wants to be a survival horror with choice mechanics, but everything is so simple and almost bland.”

Overall, the art style is praised for its fun and inspired design, appealing especially to fans of retro horror visuals.

    • “I really dig the atmospheric horror; it creates an eerie world that looks great despite its retro aesthetic.”
