The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the clarity of mechanics and the simplicity of combat, which lacks depth and variety. The absence of a manual save feature has been particularly contentious, as it forces players into repetitive scenarios, detracting from the overall experience. While the game draws inspiration from titles like Darkest Dungeon, it fails to deliver well-crafted mechanics and animations, leading to a frustrating and uninspired gameplay experience.

- “This way, the game could provide a more frustrating and challenging gameplay experience for people who want that kind of experience.”
- “Progress is saved automatically, and you will not be able to replay a bad episode. This means you are going to be bored to death with doing the same thing over and over again. It feels like the developers want to extend gameplay time forcefully and unnaturally by removing the manual save feature, which is one of the worst decisions any developer can make.”
