The game's story receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it compelling and engaging, while others criticize it for being poorly executed and confusing. Many appreciate the atmospheric elements and the initial intrigue, but feel that the narrative loses coherence as the game progresses, often relying on scattered notes that fail to provide meaningful context. Overall, while some players recommend it for its story, others find it lacking depth and clarity, leading to a disappointing experience.
“I had a little trouble with glitches, but otherwise this game has a very compelling storyline.”
“The narrative that takes place between levels is also very well done, in both writing technique and voice acting; to top it off, the story is actually worth paying attention to.”
“Prepare to have yourself 'kidnapped' by a deep and engaging story, 'held hostage' by smooth and exciting gameplay.”
“It looks like randomly cobbled together assets, the story is lacking, puzzles do not make any sense.”
“The story should have been where the game could have shined but that's the main point where it fails miserably.”
“The whole plot is just nonsense; the game claims that this is generally a story of kidnaps, so I assume the plot is that there's a sect or just an insane, mutated person who are responsible for every disappearance on planet earth.”
