182 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story in "De-Void" is a mixed bag, with some players finding it engaging and well-developed through environmental storytelling and audio logs, while others criticize it for being thin, confusing, and lacking emotional depth. Many reviews highlight the potential of the narrative, particularly in its exploration of a vanished colony, but note that it suffers from disjointed elements and unresolved plot points. Overall, while the game offers an interesting sci-fi premise, it often falls short in execution, leaving players wanting a more cohesive and compelling story.

“World-building strong, and the story itself quite engaging.”
“Kudos to the developers on creating such a beautiful and unique sci-fi experience in the telling of such a philosophically indulging and beautifully crafted storyline.”
