The gameplay is generally well-received, featuring a fun jog-in-place mechanic that provides good exercise and an alternative to traditional locomotion, though some players find on-rails movement uncomfortable. While the gun mechanics are solid, there are concerns about the game's difficulty and the need for clearer survival mechanics. Overall, the experience is enjoyable but could benefit from refinements in certain areas.
- “The jog in place mechanic of this game is fun and pretty good exercise too!”
- “Any on-rails locomotion makes me want to hurl; however, this dev included an alternate jog in place to move forward mechanic that really works.”
- “The gun mechanics were pretty good, I thought, although there is always room for improvement.”
- “The game either needs to add some way to survive more than a few seconds or add an explanation of whatever game mechanic I'm missing that permits survival.”
- “Any on-rails locomotion makes me want to hurl; however, this dev included an alternate jog-in-place mechanic to move forward that really works.”
- “It makes me question the value of such a mechanic in VR, but fine, spread is an old mechanic from many generations of FPS games.”

- “The music is too loud, making it difficult to hear important dialogue and sound effects.”
