The gameplay remains largely unchanged from the demo, with the user interface, mechanics, and puzzles all being identical in the released version. This consistency allows players to preview the game effectively through the demo footage.
“(Video above features my playthrough of the demo, which encapsulates a fair portion of the first act. The released version on Steam was largely unchanged from the demo, so it's still a good preview should you want to view one. I have the remaining gameplay available to view on my channel should you get stuck or want a little more footage to preview.)”
“The UI is exactly the same; the gameplay is the same; even the puzzles are the same.”

The humor in the game is highlighted by a memorable moment involving a comically unthreatening enemy, which adds a lighthearted touch to the otherwise non-combative gameplay. Overall, the humor is subtle and primarily derived from situational comedy rather than traditional gameplay elements.
“Aside from one point where you need to run away from a hilariously unscary enemy and hide in a closet, there is no fighting or enemies in this game.”
