Steam user MOTH CREATURE recommends the game, saying that "This is the cryptid hunting game of my dreams! Not only is the game play fun (and stressful at times), but the integration of folklore and cryptozoology is done so amazingly!"
On the other hand, Steam user Topggoose does not recommend game, noting that "The idea of the game is a lot of fun, and is great with a couple of friends for the first 20 minutes."
"After that you find yourself doing repetitive tasks without the horror," Topggoose added. "The 'monsters' are insanely predictable with spaghetti code that glitches them or makes them not that scary."
