The story is generally viewed as entertaining and intriguing, though many players express a desire for greater depth and length, feeling it could have been more developed beyond its escape theme. While the portrayal of vampires adds a realistic and ruthless edge, the overall narrative is considered a short side story within a larger universe, leaving players wanting more.
