The story received mixed feedback, with some users finding it average or below average, while others appreciated its creative adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Gold Bug" and the added plot depth. The treasure hunt theme was less thrilling than the series' usual murder mysteries, but the engaging storyline and continuation in the bonus chapter were praised. Voice acting was noted as humorously poor, yet the overall narrative and artwork garnered positive remarks from several players.
“The creator of this game took great liberties to thicken the plot of this rather plain story, and we are much obliged to him (or her) for that.”
“This one is rather short and the puzzles are quite easy, but artwork and story are really good.”
“Total of 4 hours playtime and the bonus chapter is a direct continuation of the story.”
“Story is average, locks are rather nonsensical and hitboxes are small with some of the hog items being named oddly (ex. 'cone' for a pine cone). Voice acting is the highlight, but because it's so badly recorded it's funny.”
“The plot about treasure hunt isn't nearly as interesting as the series' usual foray into murders, but the gameplay makes up for that.”
“I am not one that cares about story too much, but this story was a bit below average, I would say.”
