    Gameplay reviews are mixed, with some praising the improved mechanics and visual appeal, while others criticize the disconnection between puzzles and the plot, navigation issues, and inconsistencies in character interactions. 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.”
