The story in this game is generally considered weak and lacking in stakes, with many reviewers finding it laughable and poorly executed. While some appreciate the unique premise and puzzle elements, the overall narrative and voice acting received criticism for being subpar and unengaging. Despite a few positive notes about achievements and graphics, the consensus is that the storytelling fails to elevate the gameplay experience.
“Pretty nice puzzle game with an interesting story different from others.”
“Good storyline, a couple of achievements to get, but not overwhelming.”
“However, I enjoyed 'Hotel' from this company and I have purchased 'Where Angels Cry', which promises to have a better storyline, so I think it's just this particular title which is a bit of a dud.”
“Might have worked if the plot made you feel like there were some stakes, but as it is, it's laughable.”
“This would have been a reasonable, semi-casual game, but the storyline and dialogue were ridiculous.”
“I can't recommend such a silly game and story.”
