The story is characterized as an intriguing, twist-filled narrative reminiscent of a low-budget B-movie, keeping players guessing until the end. However, it lacks coherence and leaves unresolved threads, particularly with an unfinished "to be continued" that is not addressed in the sequel.
“It is a very interesting story and a mindf**k.”
“The story had a lot of twists and keeps you guessing until the end.”
“Does the story make a ton of sense? No, the 'to be continued' at the end (spoilers, it ends on a to be continued) does not get picked up by the sequel, so just ignore it.”
“The story unfolds like a low-budget B-movie.”

The gameplay received mixed reviews, with some players noting solid combat and engaging puzzles that challenge the mind, while others experienced significant glitches, poor cutscenes, and a lack of functional gameplay in single-player mode. As the developer's first project, it showcases a variety of mechanics, though execution appears inconsistent.
“The gameplay was solid, the combat was smooth, and the puzzles made you think.”
“When we had to give up and I played it in single-player for a bit, it was glitchy, with terrible cutscenes and barely any working gameplay.”
“This is the developer's first project, and it is clear that he has worked out many different mechanics that are included in Selene's Unbearable Night.”

The humor in the game is derived from its janky mechanics and awkward animations, which can lead to hilarious moments, especially when played with friends. While the survival horror elements are overshadowed by the game's numerous glitches, players find enjoyment in attempting to navigate these issues together, making it a fun experience despite its flaws. Overall, the game's comedic potential shines through its chaotic gameplay, offering a unique, albeit frustrating, co-op experience.
“The survival horror isn't from the enemies but the game itself; it's literally a toss-up if the game breaks or not. Honestly, it's hilarious with a buddy, and if you have $10 burning a hole in your pocket, then this game can be fun with a friend by trying to break the game to progress through certain areas.”
“This game does have a few amazing ideas, and if the game had an actual budget/studio behind it, I can see this game making big waves in the scene. There's not enough co-op horror games that aren't a Phasmophobia clone, so seeing a game like this does give me a glimmer of hope.”
“The animations are awkward, and the hit detection is off, basically anything you find in a low-budget indie game made by one person. It's pretty obvious that the devs are probably new to making games, which adds to the humor of the experience.”
