The game's Soulslike nature, while rewarding, can lead to frustration due to its high difficulty and the loss aversion mechanic associated with dying. While not designed to be manipulative, the inherent challenge and 'one more try' loop can make it hard to disengage. The game features moderate violence and elements of fear/horror, consistent with its genre.
