The game's story is virtually nonexistent, with players noting a lack of narrative or meaningful context. It is described as a poorly executed escape room experience set in a giant house, where the primary focus is on finding items rather than engaging with a cohesive plot. Overall, the absence of a compelling story contributes to the perception that the game was rushed to market without sufficient development.
- “There's zero story here.”
- “Another game released way ahead of schedule; it wasn't ready to leave the drawing board yet: there is no story and no meaning to the game. You can't say that it's sandbox, because a sandbox game has purpose. This game doesn't have one; in my opinion, it was released just to milk money as fast as possible instead of spending more time and effort into making a proper and enjoyable game.”
- “You can't see anything and there is no story.”

- “One is a laughing fireman watching TV who will get up and start to haphazardly follow you when you enter and maybe exit the lounge room.”

The monetization strategy of the game is criticized as a blatant cash grab, lacking genuine effort or creativity, with many reviewers feeling it is a haphazard collection of ideas designed solely to generate quick revenue. The rapid release of the developers' next game shortly after further reinforces this perception.
- “All in all, it just screams asset placement and a made-up hodgepodge of ideas to try and camouflage that the game is designed as a quick cash grab, nothing more, with no real proper forethought placed into it in wanting to make a 'good' game.”
- “What proves that this is just a scandalous cash grab is that the developers' next game was released just 9 days later after this one.”
