What players say
Players praise the atmosphere and concept but say the game feels unfinished, with bugs, poor performance, and repetitive gameplay. Many compare it unfavorably to the developer's earlier games like Sir, You Are Being Hunted. It is very short, around 3-4 hours, and opinions split on whether it is worth a discounted price.
