Many reviewers note that the plot features interesting elements like magic and time travel but suffers from inconsistencies and a lack of depth, making it forgettable for some.

- “The game features a captivating storyline and engaging narrative that immerses players into a world of magic, mystery, and intrigue.”
- “With its richly detailed plot and well-developed characters, the game keeps players hooked from start to finish.”

- “The story is cringeworthy and has nothing to do with either witches or warlocks.”
