19 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story in the game is generally viewed as disjointed and weak, often feeling like a series of unrelated puzzles rather than a cohesive mystery. While some appreciate the connection to real locations and find certain plot elements interesting, many players find it uninspiring and lacking depth, leading some to skip the narrative entirely. However, a few users enjoy the storyline and twists, highlighting that opinions on the story are mixed.
“Based on a true story, with sick graphics and very fun puzzles!”
“Great puzzle game, with a cool storyline and plot twists!”
“I like that it is tied to real locations, which adds a lot of depth and story given it's not completely fictional.”
“I ended up skipping all the dialogues and so called 'cut scenes' in the end because there is no story put to this.”
“The story feels disjointed, like it isn't truly a mystery—rather it's a series of disconnected puzzles with a thin story that guides you.”
“Overall, while the game has its moments, it doesn’t fully deliver on its potential, especially in terms of story.”
