The game's story is a mixed bag, featuring an engaging murder mystery with time travel elements and a unique plot twist, but it suffers from plot logic gaps and an overall lack of clarity. While some players appreciate the integration of puzzles with the narrative and commend the graphics, others find the story convoluted and slow-paced, leading to an average experience. Overall, it offers an interesting premise but may not fully satisfy those seeking a tightly woven narrative.

“It has a wonderful story about a clairvoyant female detective chasing a serial killer through time, and all the puzzles are fun.”
“Interesting point-and-click adventure with nice character and thrilling, well-written story.”
“There are gaps in the plot logic, like your character finding a clue and somehow knowing a person's name without it being introduced. After a while, I felt like I was just kind of going along.”
“I give gold stars for originality in the plot, but ultimately it's just not well done and comes across as slow and dull.”
“Storyline was average as well; just overall an average game, worth killing a few hours of time over. The puzzles felt pretty unique except for a Sudoku one.”
