The game's story, based on Jules Verne's classic novel, is a mixed bag; while it offers a historically accurate narrative and beautiful art, it suffers from poor translation and a lack of depth. Players find the story compelling enough to engage with, despite its simplicity and familiarity, but note that it is relatively short, lasting just over two hours without any bonus content. Overall, the story is seen as a low-effort addition to an otherwise enjoyable hidden object puzzle game.

- “Super low price gives you a neat, historically correct story with beautiful art, clever hiding of objects, good atmospheric soundtrack, and clever mini games!”
- “The story is simple and already pretty well known, but all the same, I found it compelling enough to get to the end.”

- “You don't care if the story you're told is badly written and all too familiar.”
- “Kinda short (a bit more than 2 hours for the main story).”
