The story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it thin and lacking depth, while others appreciate its uniqueness and unpredictability.

“There are different endings depending on who survives, but you can't skip through any of the too long puzzles, killing the replayability.”
“I liked them on my first playthrough, but they do not have any replay value and you will likely have to replay them multiple times to unlock extra story content.”
