The story is generally considered weak and disconnected from the puzzle elements, leading to a frustrating experience for players who feel it detracts from the overall gameplay. Many reviewers liken it to a poorly executed horror narrative that fails to engage meaningfully with the puzzles.
“The story is very irrelevant to the puzzle clues; it's like playing a mediocre puzzle game that copied 'April 24th' and just reading a bizarre horror story along the way.”
“So-so story.”
