    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    20% positive mentions, 60% neutral mentions, 20% negative mentions

    The gameplay received mixed feedback, with some finding it engaging and similar to the Fear to Fathom series, while others criticized it for being confusing, lacking polish, and feeling more like interactive storytelling due to excessive reading.

    • “The gameplay felt off, too; the game kept running even after I had died, and the story was confusing as well.”
    • “The graphics are primitive but still effective, the music is okay, and the story looks like it's going places (clumsily, with weird elements thrown in from left field with no regard to narrative coherence, but at least interesting/entertaining), but the gameplay is pretty poor and it just ruins the whole game.”
    • “But the gameplay is where it falls short.”

    • “Kudos to the soundtrack though, great music.”
    • “Absolutely love the story and the music both hit perfectly and really pulled me in.”
    • “The music sounds like a tone-deaf idiot tried to play something from I Spy: Spooky Mansion and failed.”
    • “During a stealth section where I was successfully hiding quietly under a bed, the psycho suddenly heard me for no reason and I was suddenly standing up from under the bed while jarring 'you're bloody dead, mate!' music played at loud volume, then the scene kept repeating itself over and over again, perpetually stuck in a failure loop.”
    • “The graphics are primitive but still effective, the music is... okay, I guess, and the story looks like it's going places (clumsily, with weird elements thrown in from left field with no regard to narrative coherence, but at least interesting/entertaining), but the gameplay is pretty arse and it just ruins the whole game.”
