The story aspect of the game is characterized by a variety of mission objectives and exit requirements, enhancing replayability and engagement. Players appreciate the dynamic nature of missions, where different objectives and optional tasks can lead to unique experiences, although some have encountered progression-breaking bugs. Overall, the game is praised for its well-structured mission design and efficient loading times, contributing to a smooth gameplay experience.
- “I love the idea that masks add to your multiplier, that you can play the same house and end up with different objectives and optional missions, and that sometimes the monsters don't show up unless you activate them by being too loud or taking too much time.”
- “Every level has a set of 3 fixed but randomized side objectives. If you complete them, you get a lot of points to level your character. You only need to complete them once for them to be replaced by another from the list, and if you do the mission enough, you can 100% the map.”
- “Good mission variety - different objectives and exit conditions help keep repeat runs from feeling identical.”
