However, it suffers from a lack of clear backstory and a jumbled narrative, and a critical glitch in the final part prevents some players from completing it.

    • “Nice details and storyline.”
    • “Lots of finding pieces that you have to remember what it goes to, and the story is engaging but it's no Madame Fate.”
    • “There is a game breaking glitch during the final part of the story, stopping players from finishing.”
    • “The story seemed jumbled, and it didn't give much of a backstory to really sell the plot at the start.”
