The story of the game is widely criticized for being incomplete, poorly written, and confusing, often compared to amateur writing found on platforms like Wattpad. Many players express frustration over its abrupt ending and lack of meaningful choices, leading to a narrative that feels disjointed and unsatisfying. Despite some potential for intrigue, the overall execution is deemed subpar, with numerous grammatical errors and a lack of coherent plot development.
“However, the story itself gets interesting; it's mysterious, so thumbs up for that.”
“Intense and immersive gameplay with incredible graphics and a heart-stopping story of betrayal and despair.”
“Personally, although I do feel that this story has much potential to catch us off guard with twists and plots due to the nature of the story, it will take much more effort to refine the game, especially in the language department since it is a novel.”
“The story is not even completed, and it feels like while playing, I am reading a 10-year-old Wattpad writer's story/thoughts; I'm not even talking about the wrong written words...at least write the main character's favorite book's name correctly.”
“The whole story can just be summarized by one word: depression.”
“Not only is this unfinished, abandoned in early access and ends before the promised plot barely gets started; it would be of terrible quality in basically every way even if it was finished.”
