    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of the game is described as intriguing and immersive, with a strong concept that captivates players, though it suffers from predictability and a slow pace. Many reviewers noted that the AI interactions feel scripted and limiting, often leading to frustration as players wait for story triggers rather than engaging in meaningful dialogue. Overall, while the narrative has potential and some engaging elements, it may require further development to enhance player investment and reduce predictability.

    • “The story is really interesting, no spoilers but all is not as it seems.”
    • “This game was really fascinating and it set up an enticing story well.”
    • “However, it's very slow-paced and somewhat predictable in terms of its storyline direction.”
    • “The entire story spoils itself a few minutes into playtime and it is incredibly predictable for anyone who is even slightly familiar with sci-fi tropes.”
    • “I called the plot from a mile away and kept trying to tell the AI lady one line before she told me... things like that are annoying to say the least, especially with a game which should have known people would do that with such a simple plot.”
