Players find humor in the game's bugs and the absurdity of the monster-chasing mechanics, which blend fear and comedy. The chaotic interactions, such as using grenades to fend off the monster, contribute to a lighthearted experience amidst the tension.
“I found the bugs to be pretty funny.”
“The big part here is the chase between the monster and the survivor; it's scary yet hilarious. You can fight the monster with grenades to avoid him, and you can also look for health in the houses.”
