The gameplay is widely praised for its smooth mechanics, immersive atmosphere, and visually stunning graphics, enhancing the overall puzzle-solving experience.

- “Constantly glitches out and spins around, impossible to control rotating mechanics, nothing like the first game and a huge disappointment and waste of money.”

The controls are narrow, limiting your field of view and even sometimes making it difficult to find objects and select them.”
- “It seems that the developers were trying a new gameplay scheme compared to the first game. While this new scheme works for the hidden object genre, it fails at making logical assumptions based upon intuitive gameplay.”

- “The music creates an eerie vibe for the backstory and makes me want.”
