    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it frustrating and lacking in immersion due to its outdated point-and-click mechanics and absence of a save feature. While the visuals, audio, and story are praised, the gameplay struggles to balance difficulty and narrative engagement, leading to a slow and at times boring experience. Overall, the gameplay detracts from the otherwise compelling design and atmosphere of the game.

    • “Point and click horror game, mechanically most closely resembles old flash games of the sort you'd find by accident in the middle of the night in the early 00s, with a weird 'find and click the bad guy' section and all.”
    • “So to anyone who generally thinks of point-and-click games as lacking in the immersive potential of games with more conventional real-time movement mechanics: think again.”
    • “While the initial story and the documents found in the game are very compelling, the actual gameplay aspects are so frustrating that they break the immersion.”
    • “The gameplay and direction just didn’t make sense to me, and I stopped after about twenty minutes.”
    • “Visuals, audio, and story are all fantastic but leave a lot to be desired as far as gameplay goes.”
    • “The main thing stopping this from being a great little game is the complete and utter lack of a save mechanic.”

Overall, the atmosphere is highlighted as a strong point by many, contributing to a sense of fear and confusion.

    • “Really good atmosphere and history; the game is very immersive, and I felt fear and confusion as I believe it was intended.”
    • “However, that does not detract from the clever atmospheric sounds and real 360 panoramic scenery.”
    • “I enjoyed the video shots they took and the spooky atmosphere.”
    • “It makes no attempt to build up atmosphere or tension and just hits you with goofy 3D clip art and a shooting section that ruins any immersion.”
