The game's graphics are generally impressive and enhance the overall atmosphere, though some assets appear reused from stores. However, certain visual effects like the "firefly" phenomenon can be distracting, and high graphical demands may require lowering settings for mid-range hardware.
- “Excellent graphics other than the 'firefly' effect when looking at certain objects/backgrounds.”
- “The visuals, the setting, the audio, all spectacular, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!”
- “The game graphics look better than you might expect, but that's just because it looks like some or all of them are 'borrowed' from asset stores or wherever.”

The gameplay is engaging and offers a fun yet terrifying experience, though some mechanics can be tricky to learn. However, the lack of a level reset option can lead to frustration, especially after long play sessions when glitches or soft locks occur.
- “I learned that mechanic in the end, but in an attempt to get around it I glitched the game and soft locked myself. It would be great to have a 'level' reset feature, as after an hour you don't want to restart the whole game. Ultimately, it's still a fun and terrifying ride and worth a try even in its current state.”
- “I learned that mechanic in the end but in an attempt to get around it I glitched the game and soft locked myself, which brings me to my last point: please add a 'level' reset. When you're an hour in, you don't want to have to restart the whole game. Ultimately, it's still a fun and terrifying ride and is worth a go even in the current state.”

The story is widely criticized for its simplistic, low-quality writing that feels more suited for a children's book, making the reading experience tedious and frustrating.
- “Horrible UI. I would rather write a book myself. I was painfully clicking through the chapters only to read a 4th-grade level of writing.”
