The story in the game is described as nostalgic and emotional, effectively drawing players in and motivating them to solve puzzles. However, some reviewers feel it lacks depth compared to the original, making character bonds feel weaker and the narrative somewhat vague for newcomers. While the visual storytelling improves over time, it can initially be challenging to follow, and the overall experience may feel incomplete due to limited movement and lower-quality visuals.

- “There's also a bit of an abstract story to uncover.”
- “The visual storytelling can be a bit hard to follow at first, but it becomes more engaging as the game progresses.”
