Overall, the story seems to serve as a backdrop rather than a focal point.
“Quite a good game regarding the puzzles; unfortunately, there is no guidance, no help, and no story whatsoever.”
“It was quite a good puzzle game, but I felt that the ending was a bit of a letdown, and it's not the end of the story.”
