The story in the game is largely conveyed through notes unlocked by solving puzzles, leading to mixed reviews regarding its coherence and depth. While some players found the narrative intriguing and appreciated the character development and decision-making elements, others criticized it as confusing, disjointed, and lacking in real character engagement. Overall, the narrative structure seems to offer potential for complexity, but many players felt it ultimately fell short, leaving them unsatisfied with the storyline's execution.
“The tasks are varied and fascinating, and the intriguing plot forced me to spend several sleepless nights to find out how events are developing.”
“I appreciated the depth of the characters and the ability to influence the course of the plot with my decisions.”
“The narrative structure, allowing players to piece together the story's fragments to form their own interpretation, added complexity and intrigue that kept me fully engaged, akin to assembling a vast and enigmatic jigsaw puzzle.”
“The story is basically notes that you get every once in a while after completing puzzles. I read only one or two and couldn't tell if it was 'you found this fantasy novel someone in the crew was reading' or just a fragment from an epic story that could or could not have something to do with the game.”
“There's a story of sorts, told through pieces of notes in the first person that you unlock as you solve the puzzles, but even though it starts interestingly, it loses its cohesion halfway through.”
“It was not difficult; it seemed like an interesting plot, but real characters are missing (just a notebook story).”
