The story has received mixed reviews, with some praising its engaging plot and character dynamics, particularly the protagonist Grace's journey to uncover her mother's murder amidst a backdrop of international intrigue.

- “The story flowed super-fast and kept me wondering what was going to happen next.”
- “Carter is an exceptional writer--each detail is woven together to put together a plot full of twists and turns.”
- “Honestly, it doesn't have any story, it runs poorly (on a 3080 ti) and it isn't really worth playing... if you want a laggy, buggy random gameplay then why not, but if you value your time, steer clear.”
- “However, that is only a guess as there are no notes, no messages, no visual storytelling.”
- “The internationally diverse kids we're introduced to, the peculiar maturities, sensitivities, demands, and difficulties of their existence, the ever-present threat of significant change and uprooting, the unusual sociologies and coping methods they develop to survive, all of these get less and less part of the story as the plot shifts.”
