The gameplay is challenging and requires players to master mechanics for success, making it suitable for those who enjoy indie horror games focused on gameplay over narrative. While it offers engaging mechanics, such as varying key-hunting methods depending on the monster, some players have noted issues with certain features, like the movement-stopping mechanic not functioning reliably. Overall, it promises a rewarding experience for those willing to invest time in learning its intricacies.
“I recommend it for some good gameplay, just don't expect an easy run-through the first (or second...) time you attempt it.”
“Good game if you're up for a challenge of learning the mechanics and their execution into perfection, because you'll definitely need it later!”
“I watched through the dev playthrough and didn't see anything further in gameplay that makes me care to see the ending.”
“There is a mechanic where you are supposed to stop moving to stay alive, and it seldom worked properly.”
“This game uses the hunt for a key to unlock a door mechanic, but you do it in different ways based on the 'monster' you go up against.”

The game's story offers some depth, appealing to fans of indie horror titles, though it is not the primary focus, as gameplay takes precedence. While there are hints of a narrative, players may need to explore further to fully uncover it.
“The game's story actually had a little bit of depth to it.”
“If you love little indie horror games with a small budget like Grandpa, Granny, and the original Slenderman, which are less about story and more about gameplay, then maybe get this game in that case.”
“There seems to be a story hidden in here, but I did not beat the game yet, so I do not know.”
