The humor in the game is described as both intentional and unintentional, with players finding amusement in its absurdities and flaws, such as repetitive audio samples and low-quality assets. While the game attempts to be scary, it often veers into hilarity, making it an entertaining experience despite its shortcomings.

- “The way 'Witch the Bloodlines' approaches the player is funny; you'll laugh your ass off at how humorously things are presented.”
- “It's not a bad game; it's just a funny game that tries to be scary.”

gameplay

The gameplay is criticized for its lack of direction and meaningful objectives, reducing player experience to aimless wandering and waiting for attacks. Players find the mechanics simplistic and uninspired, likening the experience to running through a barren environment with minimal engagement or purpose. Overall, the gameplay is perceived as shallow and poorly designed, failing to provide a compelling or coherent experience.
- “The entire gameplay can be summed up like this: run in a straight line through an empty and barren forest. If you hear an anime battle stinger sound effect (like when they zoom in on the eyes) or a bat screech, something spawned nearby.”
- “It's like the developer was a 12-year-old who just played Red Dead Redemption and liked the hunting/skinning mechanic too much.”
- “There is no sense of direction, no goals other than 'wait to be attacked,' which is kind of what everyone does in every major city. The idea of any end game goal other than collecting enough items to buy things and going around doing things that nobody understands is laughable.”

The game's story is criticized for being minimal and poorly developed, consisting mainly of vague tasks and poorly translated text blocks. Players feel it lacks direction, often leading to aimless wandering in a large environment without a clear narrative.
- “The story line is almost non-existent and in any event is just text blocks that are not well translated into English.”
- “Well, it's a very primitive game where all you do is follow 3 initial tasks to tell you the story, and then it seems you need to wander aimlessly in a huge forest-like area trying to find anything to hunt (animal or witch).”
- “- The story (yo. witches. they gots to die. go. I dunno where.)”
