The game's story, centered around a fire at a pharmaceutical company and featuring a mad scientist, is described as fairly typical yet engaging enough to maintain interest. While the narrative includes some unexpected twists and is well-paced, it suffers from mediocre character animation and voice acting. Overall, players appreciate the story's structure and the helpful journal feature, though some find it lacks depth compared to other titles in the genre.
“There is a fleshed out story here, finished but yet open-ended.”
“The story is nicely-paced with tidbits that we find as we progress in the game, and we have a handy journal that tracks everything for us.”
“It has a solid storyline and a good journal that helps you a lot during your investigation.”
“As I said, the plot of a fire at a small pharma company with a mad scientist is nothing special, but it's enough to drag you through.”
“Very basic adventure + seek and find style game with a fairly thin story.”
“The story is a bit more detailed and is portrayed better than many games in this genre, but the mediocre character animation and voice acting might dampen your enthusiasm.”
