The game delivers a strong atmospheric horror experience with excellent sound design and immersive, claustrophobic environments capturing the feeling of Kowloon Walled City.
Multiple endings provide replay value and intrigue, encouraging players to explore different choices and puzzle out how to achieve them.
The visuals and environment detail are well-crafted and contribute well to the unsettling mood and eerie vibes.

The blinking mechanic is widely criticized as distracting, unnecessary, and potentially harmful for sensitive players, with no option to disable it.
Several endings appear bugged or extremely difficult to obtain, and lack of clear guidance or clues leads to player frustration and confusion.
Repetitive daily tasks, limited gameplay variety, and technical issues such as soft locks or glitches reduce engagement and overall game polish.
