The story is criticized for lacking proper buildup, leading to confusion and a disjointed narrative experience. Players can easily disrupt progression by rushing to key items, which can result in missing crucial story elements. Overall, the game presents a short atmospheric horror narrative set in a mysterious environment, but its execution leaves much to be desired.
- “Most story elements that were thrown in had no prior buildup, which, in pure irony, fogs whatever story there is.”
- “It's extremely easy to break progression entirely if you just rush intentionally or unintentionally for the shotgun, since the moment you grab it, it triggers the rest of the story, meaning you miss grabbing anything prior to that (including shotgun shells!).”
- “Short atmospheric first-person horror game with elements of quest and shooter about being lost in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by weird mist.”
