The gameplay has received mixed feedback, with some players initially excited by the demo but later feeling disappointed by the overall experience, describing it as underwhelming. Much of the story unfolds in a limited setting, primarily during elevator sequences, with only a few opportunities to explore and expand the game world once players progress beyond that point.
- “I saw gameplay of the demo, and that got me excited for this one.”
- “There isn't much to the gameplay itself as a good bit of the story is done on the elevator, but once you make it off the elevator, there are some story bits that you can find to expand the game world a bit.”
- “It's still not that expensive, but I would have felt robbed if I had paid the full price and saw the underwhelming gameplay that came after the demo ended.”
