The game's story is described as a standard yet dark narrative involving ancient Indian spirit grounds and demon possession, which some players found engaging despite its presentation flaws. While the backstory is lengthy and the cutscenes are criticized for being unengaging, the overall atmosphere and horror elements resonate well with players who invest time in the lore. However, a clearer and more compelling storytelling approach would have enhanced the experience.

- “There's a fairly standard story pieced together about ancient Indian spirit grounds and demon possession, which is passable.”
- “Be warned though, you must read the diary if you want to truly build up a better atmosphere and background story before the author drops you the horror bomb.”
