“Great game! Some of the text and grammar is...odd, but that could be because it was translated from Japanese. There are some "What am I supposed to do?" moments, but it wasn't too hard. I recommend this game to horror/puzzle fans!”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“Cute deadly penguins in a fun hotel setting! Camera worked great solving puzzles and fighting mean little birds. Controller was easy to use. Puzzles were not too hard. Some interesting world building going on as well. Here's our gameplay and review - https://youtu.be/v44LRKKzoO0”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“The gameplay is pretty entertaining, even though it's a mascot horror game. There were one or two issues with the English translation though. 🐧”
