The game's story is presented through static images, transitions, and puzzles, reminiscent of classic titles like Myst, and is described as enjoyable yet complex, with some players finding it difficult to follow. While the graphics show their age, the narrative evokes nostalgia for the X-Files era, and additional materials, such as the original pitch document and notes from the creator, provide deeper insights into the story's development. Overall, the game is recommended for those interested in its unique narrative and the accompanying extras.
- “The two best extras are the original pitch document that gives more insight into the beginnings of the game's development and includes more art that helps make up for the 'art book's' slack, and extensive notes from Harry Horse himself about 'Diary of a Plagiarist,' the volumes he wrote in the 80s that were the genesis of Drowned God's story.”
- “Even ignoring that, the story and play sequence is hard to follow although most puzzles are not that hard (walkthroughs are available).”
- “The age of the graphics shows, but the story takes me back to the height of The X-Files.”
- “Similar to Myst, it uses static images and transitions, alongside puzzles and cutscenes to present its story.”
