    The story is widely praised for its engaging, intricate, and branching narrative with multiple endings that keep players invested and encourage replayability.

    • “I love being met at my level, and this game does it in so many ways – I love playing any game and trying to think of things that developers might not have thought of and I was so delighted to find that the gameplay does encourage that to a big extent (i screamed with joy when I gave Matilda Sedna's package just to see what would happen, and got the 'better her than me' achievement).”

    • “A perfect mix of great writing, entertaining gameplay loop, and compelling world & narrative.”
    • “Such as, if any gameplay element appears to be a bit confused, like the order of a task to unlock secrets or reveal parts of the story or even move the story along.”
    • “Also, I personally found it hard to concentrate on the puzzles and quests because there is also the option to sort and stamp and post lots and lots of mail, and that kind of repetitive organization gameplay got its hooks into my brain and I sorted way more mail than any person needs to in this game.”
    • “The problem that I have is that with the game in its current state, I was unable to complete main objectives and the looping mechanic seemed to be broken for me in certain situations where certain characters like Liv, the creature in the ceiling, and the player character would forget about what happened in the past loop sometimes and the dialogue would be repeated every loop.”
