The game offers a terrifying VR experience with a lot of potential, especially for fans of horror games.
It is well-made for its price, featuring immersive environments, good sound design, and a unique gameplay mechanic that requires players to be aware of their surroundings.
The developers have clearly put a lot of effort into the game, and there are plans for future content, which adds to its appeal.

Currently, the game lacks content, with only one map and one mode available, which may leave players wanting more.
The enemy AI is criticized for being predictable and not very intelligent, as it simply spawns and chases the player without any strategic behavior.
Some gameplay mechanics, such as the camera battery management and lack of interactive objects, need improvement for a more polished experience.

The current version of the game lacks a developed story, featuring only a non-story mode where players collect glowing orbs in a dark environment. However, players are optimistic about the upcoming story mode, which is expected to include three chapters and additional maps. Overall, while the introduction of the main character is noted as good, the absence of a narrative in the early access version leaves players eager for future updates.
- “I can't wait for the upcoming story mode that is planned!”
- “It is said it will have a story with three chapters (one map per chapter).”
- “There appears to be 3 maps, 3 story mode chapters, and 4 classic modes on the way as well, but the price will increase as the game gets expanded, so I would suggest getting it sooner rather than later.”
- “If you enjoy playing the Slenderman, roaming around in the (almost) pitch black darkness with a circle or light beam from a flashlight (or in this case looking through a video camera) and collecting items with no story and no context, then sure, certain chances you will enjoy this, but unfortunately this is not for me.”
- “Currently there is no story and only one map for you to play on.”
- “The only level available to play at the moment is level 1 of the non-story mode (there are many more levels and a story mode yet to come) and the idea is you need to find and collect 5 souls in the form of blue, glowing orbs.”

The gameplay of "Trinquol Cuve" is praised for its impressive mechanics and the evident effort put in by the developers, suggesting a high level of craftsmanship. While the battery reloading mechanic for the camera is noted as somewhat awkward, it does not significantly detract from the overall gameplay experience.
- “However, this should not dissuade you from purchasing the game Trinquol Cuve, because it really is a work of art. You can tell the developers, of which there are a great deal, really put a lot of hard work and effort into the mechanics of the game over a lengthy period of time.”
- “The battery mechanics are out of this world, as they are in the world of Trinquol Cuve.”
- “The camera battery reloading mechanic is kind of awkward, so that could use some polish.”
- “However, it didn't really affect gameplay.”
