The story in "Eleven Eleven" is praised for its innovative storytelling technique, allowing players to experience a brief narrative from multiple character perspectives, effectively extending the overall experience to nearly an hour and a half. While the main storyline is only eleven minutes long, the depth of character backstories and the immersive environment enhance engagement, making it a compelling experience despite its limited production value. Overall, the game is recommended for its unique approach to narrative in VR, combining exploration with a rich, albeit concise, storyline.
“A really unique method of storytelling is revealed here, and it really works very well indeed.”
“That having been said, the truncated length of this is made satisfying and appropriate by the urgency conveyed in the story (the world will end in eleven minutes!), and each character's deep backstory and motivation make even the little time you spend with all of them rich and enthralling.”
“The main story is only eleven minutes and eleven seconds long, but getting to see it from all the possible viewpoints, unveiling the deeper story from each character's perspective, stretches the overall story to close to an hour and a half.”
“The main storyline is very similar to many other sci-fi narratives.”
“At first, the 11-minute story starts and ends.”
