story
12 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe game's story is a unique blend of classic mystery and horror elements set in a sci-fi context, where characters mysteriously disappear, leaving only the protagonist. Players appreciate the intriguing narrative and character development, which is enhanced by engaging puzzles and a distinctive atmosphere reminiscent of titles like "Majora's Mask." Despite some gameplay interface issues, the storytelling and creative use of text parsing contribute to a memorable experience.
“The story is incredible, the characters are great, and they all make for a very memorable game.”
“Although I have some gripes about the gameplay, especially about the interface and what type of commands the parser accepts, the story is intriguing and the puzzles are mostly sensible in a strange world.”
“Overall, the nice pixel art style, moody music, creative use of typing commands, witty remarks, and sci-fi mystery elements make for a unique story to play through.”
“What is the point of this game and its extremely tedious fetch quests, which you have to painstakingly manually type in, no less?”
“The story is based on those classic mystery/horror tales where, with each routine, someone disappears and in the end only the protagonist is left. However, it's written in a sci-fi context where the whole area disappears with the routine story. It's very unique, in my opinion, but feels more suitable for a B-movie.”
“Playing through, it was obvious it took some inspiration from Majora's Mask, one of my favorite games, but it really struggles to find its own identity in the story-telling genre.”
