The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some praising its rich narrative, character development, and integration with puzzles, while others criticize it for being shallow, poorly written, and nonsensical in its scientific premise. Many players appreciate the intriguing setup and unique character relationships, though some find the overall execution lacking and fragmented. Overall, the story is seen as a blend of potential and shortcomings, leaving players divided on its effectiveness.
“Good, rich story and cool puzzles.”
“Interesting science fiction game where you're exploring through the mind of one of the characters via simulations to undergo a sort of mental training to increase the success rate of the upcoming mission.”
“Each character's unique personality, story, and relationship with the main character Austin is well told with a good degree of realism.”
“Since it is a puzzler with a very shallow and absurd story posing as science fiction, any scientific knowledge we have now renders the story basis as purely nonsensical fantasy and not sci-fi.”
“Poor writing here only strengthened my belief that the lack of a good script for a credible story is one of the major problems here - like, for instance, that horrible fetch quest with nine pieces of scrap.”
“This is 'the anatomy of a disaster part II', but I loved 'the fall of Lazarus', and really disliked this one from the get-go when I read those ridiculous premises for the story.”
