- “Story conclusion was left hanging.”
- “For us gamers, for whom games are made (the developer seems to have forgotten that), it doesn't matter if GTA V was made by one guy in a shed over the space of a weekend and Depression Quest took 1000 staff working for 5 years to make; what matters is the resultant quality of the product.”

The monetization strategy of this game has been criticized for relying on asset flips, which not only raises ethical concerns about plagiarism but also results in a lack of originality and polish. Players feel that the game is a cash grab, offering little more than what is already available in numerous similar titles, ultimately detracting from the overall gaming experience.
- “The developers here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets, so this is plagiarism, as well as a cash grab.”
- “There's a bit to explore, some puzzles to solve, and an emphasis on stealth gameplay, but overall it's an unpolished, shallow experience. The ethics of plagiarism aside, gamers don't like asset flips because those who aren't talented or resourced enough to build their own bespoke game environments also tend to lack the other skills required for successful game development, and it shows.”
- “This offers nothing that hundreds of other similar asset flips on Steam offer, even the Russian cash grab ones.”
