The game's story aspect is a mixed experience, with players encountering network errors that disrupt gameplay and inconsistencies in narrative coherence, where winning can feel arbitrary. While the character creation tool allows for personalized storytelling and interaction with NPCs, the limited environments and character designs can detract from immersion. Overall, the potential for engaging narratives exists, but technical issues and design choices may hinder the experience.
- “The first type of play-through is where you can select from characters in the game’s story mode.”
- “When you create your own patient, you can select the appearance of the room they stay in from a few choices, the appearance of the character from several presets, give them a name, what they do, select several base characteristics for personality, condition needed for player to win, a short description for the patient directory that players can read, and a box that will allow about 2000 characters (spaces included) to give the AI a background story script to stick to.”
- “The creation tool is fun, as you can personalize your villain, make its story, and share it through the community.”
- “The problem is, sometimes you'll say one sentence and you'll win, and it'll have nothing to do with the story.”
- “Currently, there are only about five rooms between the two storyline characters you can chat with so far.”
- “That precarious element seems to become dissolved by the more silly looking characters, or when one of the two story characters you speak with has a bedroom that suddenly looks fit for a princess.”
