Reviews
- Unique and fresh horror concept using a dating app format that creates tension through observation rather than jump scares.
- The uncanny AI-generated images contribute well to the eerie atmosphere and overall theme.
- Simple and enjoyable anomaly-finding gameplay that can be fun to play with others or as a quick, engaging experience.
- Gameplay loop can feel repetitive and unchanging, with decisions during swiping not significantly impacting outcomes.
- The English translation is rough, and the story is fairly light, which may disappoint players seeking narrative depth.
- Some players find the heavy use of AI-generated assets unappealing, and anomalies can sometimes be hard to distinguish from AI rendering errors.

“The 'one mistake sends you back to day 0' mechanic had me sweating harder than sending 'u up?' at 2am.”
“My biggest criticism is that the gameplay loop doesn't change much as you progress.”
“Once you've seen the core mechanic, you've more or less seen what the game has to offer.”
“The “one mistake sends you back to day 0” mechanic had me sweating harder than sending “u up?” at 2am.”
