The game's story is criticized for being minimal and poorly developed, with players noting a lack of logical progression and meaningful narrative elements. The protagonist, Doctor Watson, receives little backstory and fails to engage with the bizarre environment, leading to a series of tedious fetch quests that offer no satisfying payoff. Overall, the narrative feels thin and uninteresting, detracting from the overall experience.
“The store page says that there is a story; I would say there is a premise. Doctor Watson gets about 5 lines of explanation at the start as to why you are there, and I haven't seen anything further. There aren't notes or other thoughts given by Doctor Watson during the game to show that he is even mildly interested in the weird surroundings he finds himself in.”
“The lack of music outside of random, spooky stings every now and again, and the 'story' is so thin, makes this game feel like I'm being punished for liking the hidden object genre.”
“This almost feels like a rage game; it feels buggy and boring in a way that borders on aggressive, and I will finish it out of a grim determination to see if there really is a story.”
“What's disappointing is that there's very little story here.”

There aren't notes or other thoughts given by Doctor Watson during the game to show that he is even mildly interested in the weird surroundings he finds himself in. There are skull and skeleton ghosts flying around and laughing at him, and he's collecting animals, vegetables, and tools for untold reasons, and he just keeps going without even a hint of curiosity.”
