    The story in this game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it engaging and layered, while others criticize it for being disjointed, predictable, and filled with plot holes.

    • “As far as I'm concerned, this game is just a puzzle compilation with how poorly the story is executed.”

Overall, while there are elements of enjoyable gameplay, significant flaws detract from the experience for many players.

    • “Epic gameplay and plot, just like all the ND games from Her Interactive!”
    • “Between the issues with navigation (at no point in the game can you take a 360 view of the setting), the plot holes, and the problems with game mechanics (the NPC appearing in two locations at the same time in different costumes and moods; talking to people twice in a row and receiving materially different updates; uh... what is Kronos?), this was a bummer for me.”
