The story of the game is described as dark and intriguing, continuing from the previous installment while incorporating strong environmental storytelling and world-building elements. However, opinions vary, with some players finding the narrative disjointed and lacking depth, while others appreciate the effort to connect the lore across the series. Overall, the story serves as a backdrop to the gameplay rather than a central focus, with mixed feelings about its execution and coherence.
- “The best of the three - with the level design of the second game combined with the platforming of the first, the hallways are comprehensible, your goals are clear, the puzzles are challenging, and the world of these games has narrowed its focus into a proper story, if you care to hunt for the notes.”
- “A fun game with a genuinely deep story, a masterclass in in-game storytelling through its world-building, gorgeous art design that can stand on its own unironically like 'Alien'.”
- “This game is a masterclass in visual storytelling and world-building.”
- “The story seems to be trying to get somewhere, but I didn't really grasp the fine details.”
- “For one, the story that is given is all over the place; the parkour is less cohesive than the first one, and the traversal on the map is quite a maze that at some point I just wanted it to be over with.”
- “Though the story isn't really the focus of the game and is more set dressing than anything else.”
