The humor in the game is largely derived from its janky animations and awkward mechanics, which can lead to hilarious moments, especially when played with friends. While the game is riddled with bugs and issues typical of low-budget indie titles, these flaws can create a fun, chaotic experience as players attempt to navigate and break the game together. Overall, the comedic potential lies in the game's imperfections, making it a source of laughter rather than traditional horror.
- “The survival horror isn't from the enemies but the game itself; there's a reason why it's named 'Unbearable.' The game is extremely janky, the animations are awkward, and hit detection is off. It's literally a toss-up if the game breaks or not, honestly it's hilarious with a buddy. If you have $10 burning a hole in your pocket, this game can be fun with a friend by trying to break the game to progress through certain areas.”
