The game's story is a dialogue-driven narrative that serves as the main focus, with puzzles and shooting playing a secondary role. Players appreciate the humor and straightforward crime-solving plot involving a "cookie cop," though some may find the pacing slow initially due to extended story and dialogue sequences. Overall, the story and character interactions are well-received and considered the core strength of the experience.
- “The voices, dialogue, and story carry the whole experience. While other elements like graphics and mechanics have minor flaws, the narrative and audio fit the game's aesthetic perfectly.”
- “I got a bit frustrated at first because I wanted to start doing things right away, but I realized the story and dialogue kept progressing, and understood it's a story/dialogue-driven game. The puzzles and shooting parts are secondary.”
- “The story is pretty straightforward while also offering the ability to mess around with the world as you like.”
- “I got a bit frustrated at first, as I wanted to start doing things right away, but I noticed the story/dialogue kept going, and I understood it's a story/dialogue driven game, the puzzles and shooting parts are kinda secondary.”
- “You basically wake up reincarnated as a cookie cop, a scene setting the game up happens, then go around triggering more scenes or playing scattered minigames that advance the story (you are solving a criminal food case of course).”
- “Then after trying for ten minutes I finally got past that to load the first mission and found that I could not use anything; I could not even open the door to get going in the game.”
