The game's story revolves around eight quests that reveal the narrative of Aiden, but many players find it lacking depth and coherence, often describing it as "meh" and poorly explained. The storytelling relies heavily on notes scattered throughout the environment, which are criticized for their poor English and clunky presentation. While some achievements are tied to the story, the overall experience leaves players feeling disconnected and confused.

The gameplay is perceived as simplistic, resembling a first-person experience with "escape the room" mechanics or a walking simulator that features minimal puzzle elements.
- “Based on the screenshots and somewhat vague description of Aiden, I got the impression this would be a simple first-person game with 'escape the room' mechanics, or at least a walking simulator with barebones puzzle elements.”
