The gameplay offers more content compared to similar titles, but it is marred by frequent crashes and grammatical errors, leading to an overall experience that many users feel is not worth the investment.
- “Here's a quick gameplay overview of the first part of the game.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent glitches that disrupt gameplay, such as disappearing weapons and crashes. While some players find it enjoyable, the prevalence of these technical problems has hindered their ability to progress, leading to frustration. Overall, the stability concerns may deter potential players despite the game's fun elements.
- “It is quite glitchy; I would recommend it, it is quite fun, but the amount of glitches was just a little too much for me to do so.”
- “When I was able to play, there were several combat sections where you are forced to go and collect ammo to progress. Out of the 6 times I picked up ammo, 3 of those times caused the gun to disappear, and I was killed by the shadow creature, forcing me to reload. The sprint doesn't seem to be quick enough to maneuver around the enemy, so glitches have stopped me from finishing twice now, and then it crashed again.”
