The gameplay is generally well-received, with players appreciating the overall concept and graphics. However, there are minor nitpicks regarding inconsistencies, such as the keyboard layout affecting gameplay mechanics, and some players desire more depth and length in the game. The stalking mascot character adds a layer of tension reminiscent of other horror games like Five Nights at Freddy's.
“I like everything else (gameplay, concept of the game, graphics).”
“To be honest, the gameplay feels like a 'welcome to the game' experience; however, the fact that you have the mascot character stalking you and attacking you from really close, along with the way to defend yourself, kind of reminds me of how FNAF 4 works.”

“I wish it was longer and had some more mechanics, though.”
“Also, a little gameplay nitpick: the keyboard you inspect has the Y and Z keys flipped around on it. I thought that would make sense to require the player to hit Q+Z on their keyboard (since that would be the 'Y' key on the in-game keyboard). I'm not sure if this was intended for gameplay and just missed, but I thought I was being clever trying to get that combo to work, only for it to just be the straight Q+Y combo as asked.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, with several standout tracks described as "bangers," but players note that the overall soundtrack is limited in quantity and duration.
“The music is pretty good. From the times I've heard it, there are a few original soundtracks, all of them bangers, though they are pretty short and limited.”
“There is no music in the game, which makes the experience feel empty.”
“The absence of any musical score really detracts from the overall atmosphere.”
“Without music, the game lacks the emotional depth that a good soundtrack could provide.”
