The story of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its simplicity and engaging elements, while others find it lacking depth and coherence, especially for those who haven't played the first installment. While the sequel offers a more developed narrative and memorable characters, it can leave newcomers confused without prior knowledge of the original game. Overall, the story is seen as a fun addition to the gameplay, but it could benefit from further expansion and clarity.
“This is a fun 2D horror game that is definitely worth the price point, since it is tense to play and has an interesting story.”
“The plot is simple; I had high hopes that there would be a little more to expand on what happened in the first game, but sometimes simple works well too. If the player isn't being bombarded with a ton of information or backstories to remember, they can focus more and be more engaged in the actual game.”
“As a fan of horror games, this masterpiece kept me entertained through a great storyline and challenging levels that made me think about different ways to approach a situation. I highly recommend playing this game as the Clea series has never disappointed, with Clea 2 being an excellent sequel to the first.”
“Aesthetically, she does not fit at all, and her story is boring to boot with honestly no payoff.”
“She contributes ultimately nothing to the plot and ends up dying in the end to two chaos servants.”
“If you haven't played the first game (like me), you'll be so confused about the story!”
