The game's story is largely criticized for being minimal and lacking depth, with many reviewers noting that it feels more like a series of disconnected hidden object scenes rather than a cohesive narrative. While some appreciate the voice acting, particularly of the antagonist, the overall plot is described as nonsensical and uninspiring, leading to a sense of boredom and a lack of engagement. Players seeking a strong storyline are advised to look elsewhere, as the game primarily focuses on gameplay mechanics rather than storytelling.
“The storyline and voice acting are okay; it's the way you unlock new modes and do the same or similar rooms in different ways that make it interesting and fun.”
“Good voice acting which drives the story makes the game feel alive.”
“- a clever frame/story to get you to play the games and dive right in (without tedious running around or any half-hearted pretense at adventure).”
“But I now realize that a cheesy story is better than none at all, which feels like the case with this game.”
“There is basically no story to the game; it's just a series of hidden object scenes that you want to finish as soon as possible.”
“The story is nonsensical and lackluster.”

The gameplay is characterized by repetitive mechanics and frequent interruptions from bonus rounds, which detract from the overall experience. While the dated graphics do not significantly hinder gameplay, veterans of the genre may find it unappealing due to its lack of innovation since its 2008 release. However, newcomers might appreciate its variety and decent price-to-length ratio, making it a suitable entry point into the genre.
“That's not saying that it's a gorgeous game, it definitely comes off as old with dated graphics, but not to the point where it hinders the gameplay.”
“If you go into it for the gameplay and not the plot, it's not that big of a deal.”
“A game veteran probably won’t find anything appealing in it, since it uses the same mechanics as the first part released in 2008, but for newcomers, it may be an excellent starter game with a decent price/length ratio.”
“The gameplay, however, is bogged down with a flawed concept and way too much repetition.”
“Biggest moan; the bonus rounds are too frequent and interrupt gameplay.”
“If this game at least had Steam achievements, then it might be worth the effort to slog through the boring gameplay in order to grab some easy achievements.”

“The only thing repetitive about this game is probably the music.”
“The sounds and soundtrack are fine until hearing it for the nth time drives you crazy.”
“The voice acting is terrible and the music is really annoying after a while, so for a better experience, turn off the sound and play your own music instead.”
