The story aspect of the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it engaging and atmospheric, while others criticize it for being minimal, disjointed, and lacking emotional depth. Many noted that the narrative is primarily delivered through optional audio logs, which can lead to a fragmented experience that makes it difficult to fully invest in the plot.

- “The atmosphere and sound design make it genuinely spooky, and the story kept me hooked.”

- “There is a story, but it's so minimal, and it's delivered so emotionlessly that I just had no investment in it.”
- “You're left with a very loose partial translation of a story, which as you can imagine means you're only getting part of a story that is lost in translation.”
- “There is technically a story, but since it's largely delivered via optional audio logs which you can miss if you happen to not explore the areas that contain them, it feels disjointed and thus hard to emotionally invest yourself in.”

I could not play the very end of the game; I had to go to YouTube just to see how it ended. I doubt I will get a refund because it shows 14 hours of gameplay, which is not the case since I keep my computer running a lot of the time while doing other things, so the game is on pause. I waited so long for this game to come out, and I am so disappointed. I tried lowering the resolution, the graphics, and everything you can possibly think of.”
- “And plenty of graphic options too.”
