The game's story is criticized for being short and occasionally confusing, particularly due to its reliance on visuals that may not render well on non-16:9 displays. Additionally, players have noted performance issues, such as slowdowns during story sections.
“The story is too short and sometimes confusing because of the pictures, but it's not bad.”
“There is the dreaded unity slowdown at times, and the game story sections don't render correctly in non-16:9 display ratios.”
