The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some praising its rich narrative, interesting characters, and engaging puzzles, while others criticize it for being shallow, poorly written, and lacking coherence. Although some players found the premise intriguing and the art style appealing, many felt that the story's execution fell short, often describing it as nonsensical or fragmentary.

“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 true 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, like that horrible fetch quest with nine pieces of scrap.”
“I really disliked this one from the get-go when I read those ridiculous premises for the story.”
