The story is described as intriguing but ultimately lacking depth, with insufficient world-building and character development. Players found the narrative engaging yet felt that the gameplay mechanics, such as object interaction, detracted from the experience, leading to potential story-breaking moments. While there are multiple endings to explore, many reviewers expressed a desire for a more fleshed-out and polished narrative to enhance the overall experience.

“It is very story-driven, but I was super drawn to the narrative.”
“> The threads you follow will either weave a story where you triumph… or forever unravel your entire consciousness.”
“However, I thought the story lacked depth: there wasn't enough world-building and the characters were not fully developed.”
“Honestly, the story seemed rushed.”
