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