The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. IGN praised the atmospheric elements, but criticised the shortness and the clumsiness of the gameplay.[2] GameSpot heavily criticised the shortness and the lack of clarity in the plot.[3] Kotaku commended its originality, yet defined the overall experience of Datura as "confusing, unsatisfying, and ultimately fleeting".[14]
