The story aspect of the game receives mixed reviews, with some players criticizing it for being simplistic, poorly executed, and lacking coherence, while others find it intriguing and engaging despite its flaws. Many note that the narrative feels derivative and disconnected from gameplay, with a lack of voice acting in conversations detracting from the experience. Overall, while there are elements of interest, the storytelling is often seen as a low point in the game's design.
- “The story was very interesting; it kept the mystery until the end. It ended very simply, but I somehow wasn't disappointed by the ending.”
- “Good story, scenes, and a strong female lead character.”
- “Storywise, yes, it's not a total failure, but hey, the story isn't told well either.”
- “This is just an abomination as the puzzles are pathetic, the storyline is infantile, the music is annoyingly mundane, and well...basically everything is wrong.”
- “I didn't have the issues reported by others but it's dreary, there are no achievements or cards, the mini-games are bad and the story just ends unexpectedly.”
- “It seems that the previous adventure games did not sell well (I wonder why? Could it be the overused Lara Croft archetype? Or the derivative plot? Or the overabundance of illogical inventory puzzles?), so it seems that some excel spreadsheet overlord over at City Interactive decided to cut costs - and in the process, the whole gameplay was gutted, leaving behind a strictly low-effort hidden object game with occasionally badly made puzzles (no, those broken pottery pieces do not even match, but why should they?), and a homeopathic dose of a plot (professor this, artifact that) that makes no sense - after juggling lab equipment for a while, our protagonist decides to visit a random African dictator living in what looks like a Mongol yurt - because why the heck not?”

Overall, the graphics seem to be a significant point of contention among players.
- “The graphics are beautiful.”
- “The graphics are a bit grainy, and the hidden object games aren't too tough; even the meager riddles are so soft, you feel like you sink into a fluffed-up bale of cotton.”
- “The game has two major flaws: the graphics for hidden object games are dark and somewhat pixelated, which makes items hard to see/find.”
- “Yep, terrible pixel-hunt hidden object scenes with poor graphics by today's standards.”
- “The graphics are a bit grainy, and the hidden object games aren't too tough; even the meager riddles are so soft, you feel like you're sinking into a fluffed-up bale of cotton.”
