story
26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
27% positive mentions, 61% neutral mentions, 12% negative mentions
The story received mixed to negative feedback, with many users finding it confusing, poorly developed, and full of plot holes that lead to unsatisfying or nonsensical endings. Some noted an interesting premise and initial engagement, but overall, the narrative was seen as disjointed, lacking resolution, and overshadowed by generic or irrelevant characters. Despite these flaws, a few found the story passable or entertaining enough for the game's low price.
- “The story itself, plot holes aside, was interesting and engaging.”
- “Good use of atmosphere to produce suspense and intrigue, even if the story falls apart towards the end.”
- “Its cheap, fun, story line is at the very least entertaining enough to keep me interested.”
- “Characters and plot points are dropped and quickly forgotten, the endings (especially the true ending) make no sense and it doesn't have an original bone in its body.”
- “The story leads absolutely nowhere.”
- “It is filled with plot holes and doesn't explain anything.”
graphics

The graphics are praised for being neat and well-mapped, with interactive objects and dynamic elements like a changing corpse graphic. However, some visual quirks and bugs slightly detract from the experience. Overall, the visuals contribute positively to the game's appeal despite minor flaws.
- “The saving grace of this game might be just puzzles and the graphics.”
- “Starting with the goods, Ino actually has some neat graphics and mapping.”
- “There's also a corpse which changes graphics when you interact with it (a result of the event not being set to 'direction fix' in the editor) and there are objects that you can interact with even when you're not facing them, especially near the beginning.”
- “The saving grace of this game might be just puzzles and the graphics; I can't speak of the story because I couldn't experience anything past that waking corpse kind of bug, and I don't feel like going back to my previous save from 20 minutes earlier just because I got screwed.”
