What players say

Players praise the art style, atmosphere, and music but report frequent bugs including overlapping dialogue and softlocks, especially on the beach and near the end. Some also find combat awkward, though a 'Chill' difficulty exists. The narrative is described as cryptic and unresolved, and the game is short.
