The story in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it clumsy and filled with logical inconsistencies, while others appreciate its complexity and connection to the first installment. Although it aims to shock and engage, many feel it falls short, often prioritizing puzzles and gameplay over a coherent narrative. Overall, while the story has its moments and is more polished than in the previous game, it remains a point of contention among players, with some deeming it forgettable or absurd.
“The story is a direct continuation of the first game (although they recap it at the beginning so you can jump right in if you haven't played that), and the plot actually makes sense, which is a rarity for a hidden object puzzle adventure.”
“I am really enjoying this new chapter of this game even more than the first part; actually, an interesting storyline keeps your attention, great graphics, and music. I really like these thriller-type hidden object games the most.”
“The story is imaginative and creative, and so are the characters.”
“Although it could have been interesting, the story is poorly executed with several logical leaps.”

“You've just managed to make people run after a series of hidden object scenes and puzzles without any decent story revelation!”
