The game received reviews ranging from negative to positive. JustAdventure thought the game was a "slight improvement" over The Elk Moon Murders, while noting "[it] is not entirely easy to classify - somewhere between an interactive movie and an adventure game".[4] In a 2001 retrospective, Programmer In Black wrote "For an older game, the game play here holds up well."[5] Just Adventure said "There is one thing that [the game] absolutely, positively isn't: unique".[6] Allgame gave Sacred Ground 2.5 stars out of 5.[7] Tekno Magazine noted the annoyance of switching between the game's two CDs when moving back and forth between different locations.[8] PC Player felt the title was a missed opportunity to build on the world created in the predecessor.[9][10] MacGamer thought the title was serviceable in the genre of interactive murder mysteries though admitted it was not revolutionary in any way.[11] The Adrenaline Vault praised the immersive characters and the atmospheric music.[12]
