Overall, the gameplay is well-received, with players appreciating the concept and graphics. However, there are minor nitpicks regarding specific mechanics, such as a keyboard input inconsistency and a desire for more depth and length in the gameplay experience. The game's atmosphere and character interactions draw comparisons to other titles like "Five Nights at Freddy's," adding to its appeal.
- “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 like everything else: gameplay, concept of the game, and graphics.”

- “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.”
