The story is generally considered weak and uninteresting, though the excellent voice acting enhances the experience. It follows a structure similar to the first FNAF game, where players navigate a week in a low-agency role, guided by a telephone boss who provides a basic narrative framework. The use of a clipboard and room numbers aids in quest navigation and helps players familiarize themselves with the layout.
- “The standout is the excellent voice acting that really makes this feel like a story.”
- “The clipboard and room numbers are a great quest guide, and you learn the layout pretty quickly.”
- “It lacks story; there is some, but it is not interesting at all.”
- “Structured like the first FNAF game, wherein you work a week in a low-agency role while a person on the telephone (your boss) frames each day with a simple story.”
