The story is highly praised for its intricate detail and immersive twists, leaving players eager to revisit clues that disappear after use. While the narrative is well-developed and enriched with depth, some players express a desire for better accessibility to story elements after initial encounters. Overall, the combination of a compelling storyline and challenging puzzles creates an engaging experience, though technical issues can hinder progress.
- “The story is mind-bogglingly detailed and immersive, with twists you'd never see coming.”

- “It carries inspiration from scratch, asylum, and other point-and-click puzzle games, but with a spectacular story filled with depth and some really unique puzzles.”
- “In fact, as I'm still trying to understand some of the story in my mind after playing, I wish I could revisit the various clues in written and audio form without an entire replay - but they go away after you listen to them/leave those areas, and that is a rare drawback of the game experience for me.”
- “The story, voice over, illustrations, and layout is really good.”
- “The puzzles will probably get more challenging as I dive further into the story but that's how it goes.”
