  • story26 mentions

    The game's story is generally praised for its intriguing plot and continuity from the previous installment, with many players appreciating the atmosphere and graphics.

    • “The only problem I have is that when you watch the ads for the hint, it's not really helpful and I was stuck for a while.”
    • “Pros: nice graphics and storyline. Cons: no hint system which could've been used to place ads instead of awkwardly having random pop-ups in the middle of the game.”
    • “I even watched ads and tutorials... nothing.”
