The game's story presents a captivating yet flawed narrative, characterized by a typical causality loop and significant plot holes. While some players appreciate its complexity and thought-provoking themes, others criticize the storytelling for being poorly executed, with linguistic issues and a lack of coherence. Overall, the plot shows potential but could benefit from further development and refinement.
