The gameplay is characterized by a slow-burn horror experience, particularly in the initial stages where not much action occurs. While the mechanics are easy to learn and enjoyable, players may encounter occasional mechanical errors that could disrupt their playthrough. The inclusion of multiple endings enhances replayability, offering significant variations rather than mere cosmetic differences.

“The game features a slow burn kind of horror and I mean literally slow, as not much seems to happen in the first 30 minutes of gameplay... I guess, in the end, it's true to its name.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed feedback; while the hyperrealistic visuals in the initial moments impress players, the character models are noted as needing improvement. The environments, particularly the power plant, are praised for their cool design, and the overall graphical quality, combined with effective sound design, enhances the gameplay experience, especially during jump scares. However, some reviewers feel that a strong voiceover could elevate the graphics further.
“However, the first 10 minutes blew me away with the hyperrealistic graphics.”
“The graphics and sounds of this game are also good, and so far it got me with all the jump scares!”
“Graphics are like an early version of Unrecord.”
“Graphics-wise, the power plant seems extremely cool, although the character models need some work.”
“What I think could make this game a rockstar would be a good voiceover; it will definitely bring it up a notch to match the realistic graphics.”

The story is engaging and unfolds naturally without relying on excessive reading or typical horror game mechanics, featuring a few effective jumpscares. However, players have expressed disappointment with the game's early access status, which limits their experience of the full narrative, and have encountered significant bugs that hinder progression. Overall, while the story has potential, technical issues detract from the enjoyment.
“The story builds itself without having to read endless long notes, and you don't get the typical walking simulator horror game style, or endless puzzle solving; the rare jumpscares got me real good.”
“Was initially a bit disappointed when this game was released as early access, as it meant I wouldn't be able to experience the full story on my first playthrough.”
“Story has been fun to watch develop - mechanics are easy to learn and enjoyable.”
“There's not a ton of horror going on either, just kind of 1 or 2 jumpscares and then the moral of the story: there was a spooky man.”
“I was initially a bit disappointed when this game was released as early access, as it meant I wouldn't be able to experience the full story on my first playthrough.”
“I want to like this game but it is so buggy; I've gotten stuck in dumpsters, had to restart the chapter, and encountered doorways that were wide open but would not let me enter to progress the story.”
