The story is likened to "Hello Neighbor" set in a school, featuring a compelling narrative and improved AI, though some find it initially confusing and lacking clarity. While the first chapter leaves many questions unanswered, it includes voice acting and strong story-building elements that suggest potential for deeper exploration in future installments.
“The way I would describe it is 'Hello Neighbor' in a school, with good AI, less mind-boggling puzzles, a good storyline, and randomization.”
“There's voice acting now and great story-building.”
“The story is really weird and it doesn't make sense at all, for now, obviously, but being the first chapter (or level), it doesn't really explain that much about what happened and why certain things are there.”
