What players say

Players are split: some rate the graphics and audio as decent, but many more criticize the heavy use of AI-generated art and voice acting, the lack of any settings menu, extremely slow movement and interaction speeds, and confusing objectives like finding batteries in the dark or non-interactable books. Performance issues and a general sense of tedious pacing are common complaints.
