The story in the game is generally considered weak and lacking depth, relying heavily on vague notes that fail to engage players or provide a coherent narrative. Many reviewers noted issues with typos and grammar, which detracted from the overall experience, while some appreciated the atmospheric elements and puzzle-solving aspects. Overall, the story feels more like an afterthought, making it difficult for players to stay invested.
- “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.”
- “In this case, it wasn't a rich story that could wake my interest to find clues about what happened. I was just sent there to investigate, and I didn't pay attention because it was too boring.”

Players have reported that these technical problems, along with overly simplistic puzzles, detract from the overall experience, sometimes forcing them to restart sections of the game.
- “But there are some issues, puzzles are just easy to the point where it's just a joke and glitches, which can just ruin your immersion and leave you wandering around the house for a solid 10 minutes or, in my case, just force you to start all over again, which doesn't help the immersion much either.”
