The game's story is generally praised for its emotional depth and engaging narrative, with many players appreciating the character arcs and innovative elements. However, some users find the storyline to be short or unclear, and there are complaints about gameplay issues that detract from the overall experience. Overall, while the story is a highlight, its impact is sometimes diminished by technical problems and gameplay mechanics.
- “I would like to say that this game has a good storyline and graphics.”
- “Hearing Jumbo Josh's story about how he got trapped in the Garten made me tear up, but the best, most moving moment was definitely when, despite falling to her death, Opila Bird still managed to say 'bird up' one last time.”
- “The story feels innovative, but my only complaint is that it's short.”
- “Game is broken once it starts up; nothing shows up, just the wall. Didn't even get to play. Waste of storage. I've seen other videos on this horror game that didn't even have work put into it. It's very short and not that worthwhile. It's like all the other horror games but worse graphics and no storyline. If you want a real horror game to play on mobile, Ice Scream or something is definitely better. Horrible experience; I didn't even get to experience anything. 1/10 for me.”
- “The only thing is I don't get the story.”
- “It's like a knockoff of a bootleg of a bootleg non-scary horror game. They didn't copy Five Nights at Freddy's or Poppy Playtime; they copied fifteen nitwit and Filipinos, and puppy plot minute, and did everything wrong. It's not one star; it's 0/10. Nothing was done right.”

- “Bro, I watched 4 out of 2 ads and I don't get one of the colors. I mean, I watched 5 out of 4 ads for a hat and I don't get it. I can still play the game normally, but I can't get a hat or color. Fix the ad issue.”
