The story is considered weak and somewhat forgettable, lacking the depth seen in previous titles by Eipix. While it follows a non-linear format typical of the genre, the characters do not leave a lasting impression, and the bonus chapter is only available after completing the main narrative.
“Such as story events and clues.”
“The story is no more linear than most such games, although the characters are rather forgettable.”
“The story is on the weak side; Eipix has done better.”
“Since this is a collector's edition game, there is a bonus chapter, but it can only be accessed after the main story is completed.”
