story26 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story of the game is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating its unique and engaging narrative set in an asylum, while others criticize it for being overly reliant on notes and pamphlets for exposition. Many find the puzzles and atmosphere enhance the storytelling, though some feel the plot lacks depth and coherence. Overall, the game leaves players eager for more, particularly in future chapters, despite its shortcomings.
“The game features very unique puzzles that get harder as the game progresses, an abnormal storyline unlike many other games, many scares, and the game really makes you think.”
“The story of this asylum turned infectious nightmare is satisfying and I'm hoping that we will see more as this is just chapter one.”
“I really want more of this game's world and story as this is again a very spooky game with decent pacing between the scares and things that may lull you into a false sense of security.”
“Just another typical 2010s 'run and hide from the invincible monster' simulator in the vein of the vastly overrated Slenderman, where the majority of the story is told through pamphlets and notes.”
“- The story is boring and told almost exclusively through notes (which were heavily overused in this game).”
“You're not there on behalf of some organization, seeking an ancient treasure or driven by a personal quest burning in the depths of your heart; basically, you're just goofing off.”
