The story has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing its lack of focus, convoluted plotlines, and an overwhelming number of characters that detract from the main narrative. While some appreciated the unique elements and character decisions, others found the pacing jumpy and the overall execution unsatisfying, leading to an anticlimactic ending. Despite its flaws, a few players still enjoyed the story's potential and the depth it attempted to explore, suggesting that a more streamlined approach could enhance future installments.
“I had so much fun with the story and making decisions for the different characters.”
“A truly unique visual story that continues on the story elements that were built up from the previous installment.”
“While I do think the first in the series is much stronger in terms of storytelling and overall character development, Pale Spectrum is still a fantastic addition that I had incredible fun with and feelings for.”
“Plotlines go seemingly nowhere, characters are brought back to do essentially nothing, there's an unjustifiable surplus of new characters who do not add anything to the story, and the pacing is jumpier than an anxiety-riddled frog during an earthquake.”
“The story has no focus and no true driving conflict - any antagonist is quickly dealt with and seems to be an afterthought.”
“Too many storylines, far too many characters, some of which even disappear mid-game as they were so useless you later wonder what actually happened to them.”
