The game's story is characterized by a series of 11 missions centered around the player acting as a "cleaner" tasked with disposing of bodies, each with its own unique and imaginative narrative. While some players appreciate the rich backstories and creative puzzle design, others find the overall plot lacking depth and immersion, leading to a repetitive experience. The episodic structure and minimal dialogue contribute to a story-light experience, which may disappoint those seeking a more engaging narrative.
- “The story of the game is so rich that each character and each level had stories that were well-thought-out and it all made sense.”
- “It has an interesting story that connects all the missions and a competent narration.”
- “But although the global idea is quite simple (someone wants to enslave the world again), the story told in each mission is really unique and interesting, and with this, the game takes its soul.”
- “It has a novel premise while also having nice art and decent puzzles, but due to its lack of a strong story, the game comes off as not that memorable.”
- “The story is not engaging enough; the world feels empty since there are no characters to talk to, and your own character doesn't really feel part of the world either, so it's just not immersive; you are very aware that you're playing a game.”
- “There's no big story pushing you forward, no millions of dialogue trees to read through, no epic events 'forcing' any progress.”
