- The mechanics, particularly the battery management and the immersive environment, are well-executed and enhance the gameplay.
- The game successfully creates tension and fear, making it a worthwhile experience for fans of the horror genre.
- Currently, the game lacks content with only one map and one mode available, which may leave players wanting more.

9 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe current game experience lacks a fully developed story, with only a single level available in non-story mode focused on collecting orbs. However, players are enthusiastic about the upcoming story mode, which promises three chapters and additional content, indicating potential for a more engaging narrative in the future. Overall, while the introduction of the main character is noted positively, the anticipation for the story's expansion is a common sentiment among users.
“I can't wait for the upcoming story mode that is planned!”
“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.”
“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.”
“It is said it will have a story with three chapters (one map per chapter).”
