The game's stability is severely criticized, with users reporting persistent lag, glitches, and connectivity issues when attempting to play on VR headsets. Many feel that the experience is frustratingly limited, reducing gameplay to merely watching rather than engaging fully in a 3D environment. Overall, the game is described as a "buggy mess" that detracts from player enjoyment.
“However, despite multiple attempts trying to play this on an Oculus Quest with an Oculus Link, and Steam VR, you can literally do nothing but watch the game not take you fully into 3D like other games do. It constantly lags and glitches when you try to connect it to a headset, leaving you to sit in a virtual theater on a smaller screen.”
“This is a total and complete buggy mess, full of spite for players in general, and pure loathing for accessibility.”
“I really enjoyed the sinking cinematic, but the game itself is buggy and dreadfully boring.”
