Though they found parts of it incoherent or shoddy, the overall effect was "jarring, hugely imperfect and strangely alarming". They recommended it to players who can forgive its flaws and appreciate the weirdness.[1] Digitally Downloaded said that people scared off by its low quality will miss out on "a good bit of fun".[4] Hardcore Gamer called it " an ill-conceived jumble of ideas".[5]
