The game's story has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing it for being nonsensical and lacking depth, often describing it as poorly executed or reminiscent of bad fan fiction. While some appreciate the basic premise of a horror escape involving a crazed antagonist, they feel that the backstory is insufficient and could benefit from more detail and context. Overall, the narrative is seen as a significant flaw, detracting from the gameplay experience.
- “The story is decent for a horror game (some crazed girl kidnaps you and you have to escape).”
- “The dazzling graphics, the immersive gameplay, the brilliant story, the amazing characters, everything about this game was absolutely perfect!”
- “After playing this game for a while, I must say it's well done. I would advise people to play this game not because it's free, but because the storyline is pretty decent and good too.”
- “Anything in its story does not make any sense or at least make it interesting; the whole gameplay is basically about smashing your spacebar... no quality at all.”
- “The plot makes no sense whatsoever and the ending is a cliffhanger!?”
- “The biggest flaw of this game has to be the lack of story; you're just thrown into a pub with two dudes and then bam - abducted.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players criticizing it for being repetitive and overly simplistic, primarily involving spamming the spacebar and lacking meaningful content. Others appreciated the unique room designs and found enjoyment in the button-mashing mechanics reminiscent of classic mini-games, though many noted that the overall experience could benefit from additional features and depth.
- “The dazzling graphics, the immersive gameplay, the brilliant story, the amazing characters, everything about this game was absolutely perfect!”
- “The game is not that bad; it mainly lacks content, but each room is relatively unique. It gets repetitive after a while, but it could be improved by the addition of other mechanics like puzzles to get a door open rather than spamming the space bar. Overall, for a free game, it's alright.”
- “I tried this game against my better judgment and really enjoyed it. The smashing doors aspect reminded me of the button-mash mechanics in most Mario Party mini-games. The game stays pretty fresh throughout the playthrough, and all the achievements are really easy to get.”
- “The gameplay consists of you randomly walking through random rooms trying to get away from a typical gacha life fangirl.”
- “The game is not that bad; it mainly lacks content, but each room is relatively unique. It gets repetitive after a while and could be improved by the addition of other mechanics like puzzles to get a door open rather than spamming the spacebar or using a macro. It would also benefit from having story items or information that could be found in each room to help the player understand who she is and where they are. Overall, for a free game, it's alright.”
- “The gameplay is absolute garbage.”

The music in the game features a selection of recognizable tracks that some players feel are generic due to their association with creepypasta narrations, while others appreciate them as classic choices. Overall, the soundtrack is praised for effectively complementing the game's dark themes, with notable intensity during key moments, although some players expressed disappointment over the absence of a favorite chase theme.
- “The music collection is pretty nice; you chose perfect music for this dark topic.”
- “Nope, all those soundtracks are great soundtracks.”
- “Anybody who listens to creepypasta narrations will recognize the songs used and might complain that it feels even more generic as a result. Personally, I think of them as classics, as I don't particularly like many of the newer songs from the artist they borrowed from. It can't be helped that they just chose the best ones.”
- “Side note: I can't find the chase theme; none of the songs listed in the credits were it, which is a shame because it was my favorite song.”
- “At least, when she's in the same room hunting you, the music changed to intense, which I'd say is good.”

- “He went home in excitement and found that a game he had been waiting for the last 69 years had come out by the name of Yandere Escape. He was so excited that he didn't even get the pizza rolls from the homeless shelter that day, and after thousands of hours of gameplay, the intense graphics, and the earth-shattering story, not even Hideo Kojima could make Jake know he was destined for a bright future.”
- “The graphics are literally made in Gacha Life and the textures are from Half-Life 2 and probably stolen from Google Images.”
- “The graphics look like stock images mixed in with clearly stolen characters from Gacha Life.”
- “Graphics-wise, they are not that nice; I'd say below average, but the music fares pretty well.”
