The story in the game is widely criticized for being unnecessary and poorly executed, with a weak connection to the puzzles and dull narration that detracts from the experience. Many reviewers find the storytelling cringe-worthy and feel that the narrative elements are shoehorned in, leading to a lack of engagement. Improvements in voice acting and a more cohesive integration of puzzles and story could enhance the overall experience.
