The gameplay is generally well-received for its interesting concept and solid mechanics, but players feel it lacks depth and length, finishing the game in about two hours. There are suggestions for improvement, such as incorporating jumpscares and additional mechanics to enhance the experience, particularly in managing interactions with collectors. Overall, while the foundation is promising, the game requires further development to fully engage players.
“It's a good and interesting game and concept, plus, the mechanics are well done.”
“Finished the game on normal difficulty in about 2 hours, definitely a neat concept but needs a lot more work in terms of gameplay and length.”
“Jumpscares are non-existent, although it would be fun to add some mechanics to lock out the collectors at certain times to get more time to pay back the debt.”
