The story in the game is generally considered weak and lacking depth, relying heavily on vague notes that fail to engage players. Many reviewers noted issues with typos and grammar, which detracted from the narrative experience. While some appreciated the atmospheric elements and puzzle-solving aspects, the overall consensus is that the story does not provide a compelling or memorable experience.
“Overall, I recommend this game if you're bored of running from monsters and just want an easy-paced horror story game.”
“Game that actually surprised me, Outlast-type storytelling (tons of notes) which worked for the game quite well and the atmosphere was solid throughout the full game.”
“The story is almost nonexistent to the point that I had actually forgotten there was a point to the game.”
“After that, the story relies on notes, but the notes are very vague and don't really explain all that much; however, I still did get the gist of it.”
“I feel like the length of the game (45 minutes) and the sort of patchwork story aren't enough to pay the full $3.99.”

“There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
“The graphics were okay, but the rain effects were weird to look at.”

The game's stability is marred by significant glitches and rendering issues, particularly in dungeons, which can disrupt immersion and lead to frustrating gameplay experiences. Additionally, the overly simplistic puzzles contribute to a sense of dissatisfaction, as players may find themselves wandering aimlessly or forced to restart due to these technical problems.
“The graphics in this game are good, but the rain effects are poorly implemented, making it difficult to see anything. There are also buggy render issues in the dungeon.”
“There are some issues with the game; the puzzles are so easy that they feel like a joke. Glitches can ruin your immersion, leaving you wandering around for a solid 10 minutes, or in my case, forcing you to start all over again, which doesn't help the immersion either.”
