The game's story is described as gripping and interesting, particularly for fans of quests and puzzles, but it suffers from a lack of depth and poor execution, with many reviewers noting that it feels more like a series of hidden object scenes than a cohesive narrative. While some appreciate the creepy setting and addictive gameplay, others criticize the short and poorly introduced story, with robotic narration and minimal adventure elements. Overall, the story may appeal to casual players but leaves much to be desired for those seeking a rich narrative experience.
