Inert in this prototype — nothing you write would be stored.
Reviewers praise the atmosphere and the sheer amount of level content for the price, and several say the best sessions are the ones where the group is genuinely lost. Proximity chat and separation are the recurring positives. The consistent complaints are inconsistent quality between levels, occasional bugs that require a restart, and puzzles that are more obtuse than difficult.
Summarized for this prototype from the sample reviews below.

The best hour we have had in it was one where nothing chased us and we simply could not find the exit, with four voices fading in and out of range. It nails the specific feeling of a place that does not want you to leave, and there is a lot of it for the money.
Level quality varies enormously. Some are genuinely excellent and some feel unfinished, and the game does not warn you which is which. We have also had a couple of runs end in a bug that required everyone to rejoin.
DEVOUR is a much sharper scare and a much smaller game. This is the one for a group that wants to be somewhere unsettling for two hours rather than frightened for twenty minutes.

Splitting up is genuinely frightening because the levels are large enough to actually lose someone, and proximity chat means you find out you are alone by the silence rather than by a UI element.
Some puzzles are obtuse rather than hard, and the group ends up on a wiki, which kills an atmosphere the game worked hard to build. A single in-game hint system would solve most of it.
Phasmophobia has better mechanics and a smaller world. This wins on scale and loses on polish.
