❤ Survival Horror Mechanics

Players must carefully manage limited ammunition and supplies, a core tenet of the survival horror genre. Enemies, dubbed "puppet friends", cannot perish permanently, but players can incapacitate them using duct tape to prevent their respawn. This encourages strategic planning, as players must decide which threats to eliminate and which to circumvent to conserve resources.

❤ Exploration and Puzzle-Solving

The interconnected levels challenge players to navigate a web of environments, unlocking new areas by finding keys and solving environmental puzzles. Reviews praise the level design for providing a satisfying sense of gradual progression and backtracking, aided by a helpful mapping system that tracks the player's progress.

❤ Combat and Weapon Variety

While not the primary focus, the combat system offers a unique arsenal of "weapons", such as the "Rolodexer" and alphabet-based ammunition. These unconventional tools add an extra layer of strategy to encounters, requiring players to carefully consider their approach.

❤ Replay Value and Customization

To enhance replayability, the game provides a variety of unlockable difficulty modes and "cheat tapes" that allow players to customize their experience. These range from increasing the challenge to fundamentally altering the gameplay, catering to diverse player preferences.
