However, some reviewers note that the narrative is short and primarily revolves around searching for items, with minimal adventure elements and a lack of depth in the storyline.

“This game is actually a sequel; however, with how it's played out, it can be easily treated as a standalone, especially since you are a detective.”
“The story is short and most of the time you will search for items, which some of them...? Holy hell!”
“It's basically a group of hidden object scenes strung together by extremely minor 'adventure' aspects, a few mini-games, and little story.”
“A stupid premise, a lame story, silly sophomoric puzzles, very few actual hidden object levels... and the few objects that are included, a blindfolded 5-year-old could find!”
