The story in this game is praised for its complexity and depth, featuring a protagonist from a protectorate society on a quest to find her missing sister while battling monsters from a parallel dimension. Although the narrative is distinct from the previous installment, it includes engaging side plots that enhance the experience. Players appreciate the balance between storytelling and gameplay, though some feel the match-3 elements can occasionally disrupt the flow.
- “Amazingly good story and soundtrack.”
- “While this sounds like a very simple premise, as you play, you'll find that the story is much more complex than that and there are all sorts of little side plots going on.”
- “While this game is part of a series, the story here is completely different and unrelated to the first game.”
- “Story-wise, you are a nun-like member of some protectorate society in a magic-fantasy world that goes looking for her missing sister, only to get embroiled in a mission to save the world from monsters invading from an evil/hell parallel dimension.”
- “I'd say because of the evolving story it's a bit less repetitive than smartphone match-3 games, certainly less repetitive than basic ones like Bejeweled, but several times it feels a bit of a slog, a bit like they put too many match-3 parts to stretch the gameplay instead of it being logical to do so.”

- “For those who liked the first entry in the series, this is an extremely long game in the exact same vein as the first, with several improvements in mechanics.”
- “For those who liked the first entry in the series, this is an extremely long (a bit stretched too far, to be honest) game in the exact same vein as the first, with several improvements in mechanics and whatnot.”
- “Those who never played or just don't remember... well, it's like an Artifex Mundi hidden object puzzle adventure game minus the hidden object and puzzle part, all replaced with match-3 game mechanics.”
- “I'd say because of the evolving story it's a bit less repetitive than smartphone match-3 games, certainly less repetitive than basic ones like Bejeweled, but several times it feels a bit of a slog, as if they put too many match-3 parts to stretch the gameplay instead of it being logical to do so.”
