The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players noting a significant shift from the original vision, resulting in a loss of atmosphere and depth. While some appreciate the challenging mechanics and graphics, others criticize the repetitive objectives, lack of engaging content, and numerous bugs that hinder the experience. Overall, the game shows potential but currently struggles with execution and replay value.
“The project does have a lot of potential and overall good mechanics and ideas that were popping all around the level.”
“Love the atmosphere, the style/graphics and the gameplay is fun, very challenging.”
“Great graphics and gameplay.”
“With maybe 2 hours of gameplay on 1 map, if you can get the game on sale and have a friend or two that are interested in this sort of game then find another coop game; you can get considerably better coop horror games for a third of the price.”
“Gameplay is haphazard and poor.”
“I would've recommended the game if not for one fatal flaw: bugged gameplay.”

The game's story is described as having a solid foundation, with enjoyable pacing and engaging puzzles, but it lacks depth and additional missions. Players appreciate the atmosphere and progression, yet they express frustration over bugs that disrupt gameplay, particularly during critical moments tied to the mission's narrative. Overall, while the story has potential, it currently feels underdeveloped and hindered by technical issues.
“The storyline along with the puzzles are solid and I have to admit that I really took pleasure in the actual pace of the game.”
“Good atmosphere, solid progression through the mission, etc.”
“I think it would be great if you added more missions (like Pandora's Reach).”
“- there are no story aspects.”
“Currently there's a bug where if your friend dies or you die while one of you is on the computer terminal mini game (essential for progress), it will send you or your friend to the mission failed screen and boot them out of the game, leaving you or your friend alone in the game.”
“This kind of scenario wouldn't happen in a set layout within a curated mission type tied to a specific map where entities only spawn after certain objectives have been initiated (i.e. how the original unsafe worked).”

Overall, the game has limited replayability due to its single map and repetitive objectives, which can lead to a quick sense of monotony. However, some players appreciate the randomization of room and item spawns, which adds a slight variation to each playthrough. While it may not offer infinite replay value, it can still be enjoyable to revisit occasionally, especially with friends.
“Add a new map that is randomly generated allowing infinite replayability even after players beat the other maps.”
“The level has some randomization of where the rooms spawn and items, which is nice for replayability.”
“Re-playable for sure, especially with new friends.”
“Only one map, and very little to no replayability.”
“To be honest, for the 4 quid I paid and the good 3 hours of gameplay I've had out of the two tries we have put in, I would firmly recommend the game but admit it has little replay value as the objectives are the same each time, so it will become old pretty fast. Given that we will most likely give in a few weeks before playing again, I can see us revisiting periodically over the next few months or so.”
“Not very long and a low replayability, but atmosphere, sound design, and graphics are great.”
