The game's story is criticized for being simplistic and underdeveloped, likened to a "collect x amount of pages" format, which detracts from the overall experience. While some players find potential in its intriguing elements, they feel it requires significant expansion and improvement to enhance engagement.
- “The game features some intriguing story elements that have great potential, but they need to be expanded upon for a more immersive experience.”
- “While the story has a solid foundation, it would benefit from further development to enhance the overall narrative.”

- “It's a 'collect x amount of pages' game (except in this one, you collect skulls) that is beatable in 20 minutes or less. The AI for the enemy is as simple as it gets, and the story is the laziest sack of crap I've ever seen.”
- “I think the story needs to be expanded upon, and the enemy needs to be reworked or have multiple variations to increase the difficulty.”
