The story is surreal, intriguing, and deeply tied to the game's unique neo-noir glitch art aesthetic, creating a captivating but confusing experience. While it successfully draws players in with a mysterious, bizarre atmosphere and strong real-world connections, the plot can feel disjointed and underdeveloped, especially early on. Overall, the story hooks players despite its complexity and ambiguity.
- “The game's artstyle is so visually different and stunning, and the surreal story drags you in with intrigue.”
- “The music choice is stellar and the story has me hooked!”
- “The biggest detail to digest is that Michael Jackson is a prominent plot device, and the player character reacts minimally to the fact that a man who is supposed to have been dead for several decades calls him for a meeting, though it does make for an interesting connection to the real world and contributes to the fever-dream atmosphere.”
- “I like the sort of neo-noir glitch art aesthetic, but the story needs a lot of work.”
- “You also don't get much of the story from just this first chapter; nearly none of it makes any sense.”

Players find the grinding in the game tedious, especially due to dying and being sent back to the beginning without checkpoints or a saving system. Implementing save points or a checkpoint menu would help reduce repetitive backtracking and improve the overall experience.
