The story is generally well-received, providing an engaging experience that complements the gameplay, though it is not the primary focus of the game. Players noted some issues, such as unclear compass directions and bugs that can hinder progress, but overall, the narrative is compelling enough to keep players invested, even those who typically do not enjoy the horror genre.
- “The story itself was pretty good, but not really the main focus of the game.”
- “There's obvious issues that need to be resolved that haven't yet, like the compass directions being unclear, buggy, etc. If you think you can get farther than me, and I was only missing that one mission because of that bug, then shoot, you can give the game a shot.”
- “From what I remember, there was a mission where I had to go visit a lake or something, and my compass guided me to a giant rock wall where a lever slot was supposed to be.”
- “Horror isn't normally my genre, but this game was punchy enough with its story and gameplay that I couldn't help but want to finish it after picking it up.”
