The gameplay of this visual novel is characterized by a blend of straightforward mechanics and a compelling narrative, featuring a time-looping element that adds intrigue but lacks clear explanation. While the investigative aspects and player choices are present, they are generally easy and do not offer significant challenge, leading to a more relaxed experience rather than intense puzzle-solving. Overall, players appreciate the beautiful art and tightly woven story, though some express frustration with trial-and-error gameplay and a lack of depth in the mechanics.
- “The gameplay is not a murder mystery type of game, but the overarching mystery is great on its own, and the challenge is figuring out how to get to the next step without looping again.”
- “It wears its inspirations on its sleeve, but weaves them into something refreshing yet intricate, full of both gut-wrenching horror and laugh-out-loud moments of levity, and packed with clever mechanics and hidden secrets.”
- “Really, really enjoy the story, gameplay, and characters!”
- “The looping mechanic is never explained and is used as a joker by the developer as a way to progress the story arbitrarily.”
- “This is a visual novel with some investigative gameplay and some player choice, but the investigations are easy and there isn't really much of a challenge per se in terms of gameplay.”
- “Trial-and-error gameplay should be avoided; I had to save and load many times close to the ending.”

- “On another note (minor early game spoilers), I think it's really funny that the main three saw 'this door will not open until one of you dies' on the main entrance, questioned if they had a time limit, explored the house, and then came back to find 'you have 20 hours' added underneath the first message.”
