Players appreciate the depth of the storyline and the creative integration of puzzles that enhance the narrative experience, although some find the bonus chapter introduces unnecessary complexity. Overall, the main story is well-received, with a strong connection to its setting, though it can occasionally distract from the gameplay.

- “The story was very intriguing, the cut scenes were great, the variety of puzzles mixed in with hidden object scenes were perfect, and the music is outstanding.”
- “Very nice story that was completely appropriate to its setting.”
- “At least as long as we remain in the main story because the bonus chapter introduces a bit too much moon logic over the otherwise strangely realistic tone.”
- “The reason I'm not a fan is that if you get involved with the story, your mind doesn't remember to look for these hidden objects in every scene, and if you do, you are usually distracted from the story, which in this case was pretty good.”
- “The only drawback to this game is the extra story they attach to the game after completion.”
