The game's story starts off with potential but quickly becomes unengaging and lacks depth, leaving players feeling that the experience is bland and pointless. Despite some initial jump scares, the narrative fails to captivate, and the overall short length of the game contributes to a sense of dissatisfaction. Many players find the story forgettable and not worth investing in, particularly due to poor controls.

“It took me 50 minutes to beat, and I opened every drawer (lots of them, only 2 with anything in them and they are story related).”
“Short game in which the story doesn't really get a hold of you, also due to the lame controls.”
“The story, well, there is one, but it's nothing to get attached to.”

“The neuro crash song on the laptop (changing in-game music was also a cool feature for that segment) was a jam and fun to listen to through the hallways segment.”
“The music and graphics are awesome.”
“10/10 gameplay and soundtrack.”
