The puzzles are well-constructed and provide a satisfying challenge without being overly difficult.
The game offers a decent amount of content for a single room escape experience, with more puzzles than many other VR escape room games.
The room scale feels accurate, and the interactions with most objects are simple and precise.

The game suffers from technical issues, including glitches that can cause items to clip through walls and make puzzles uncompletable.
Many players experienced motion sickness due to the movement mechanics, which detracted from the overall experience.
The game is relatively short, taking around 30-50 minutes to complete, which some players feel does not justify the price.
