The gameplay is noted for its refreshing take on mechanics inspired by "I'm on Observation Duty," successfully engaging players despite some rushed elements. A specific example of this rush is the "h" button feature, which allows players to skip certain segments if no anomalies are detected, indicating a mix of innovation and oversight in design.
“Sure, it's heavily inspired by 'I'm on Observation Duty', but it still changed up the core mechanics and presented a cool, refreshing product that grabbed everyone's attention.”
“I won't detail every flaw in this product, since I don't wish to spend 3 months writing this review, but probably the main example of how rushed this game was is the 'h' button mechanic: it allows you to skip the escalator ride if you don't see any anomalies.”
