The game's story is characterized by a confusing and maze-like structure, with a plot that evolves as players progress, which some find appealing. However, the overall storytelling is criticized for being average, with poorly executed dialogues that leave players lacking context, and significant plot twists that feel disconnected from earlier narrative elements. Ultimately, the conclusion of the story detracts from the overall gaming experience.
“The world is bizarre with a weird story.”
“I should begin with storytelling.”
“Yes, this game has a nice setting and ideas built on.”
“The game's storytelling through dialogues is quite bad, because often players don't have any background about it even after reading the information in the store.”
“In the cinematic levels, there's an unexpected plot twist, but there was no mention in the previous game that Aurora is the sister of the main character.”
“Also, the plot's conclusion just ruins the entire game experience.”

Gameplay is generally smooth, maintaining a locked 60 FPS with occasional drops to 45-50, which do not significantly impact the experience. However, players note that the game begins with excessive dialogue that feels irrelevant, delaying the start of actual gameplay.
“The game runs smoothly most of the time, with frame rates dropping occasionally from a locked 60 to 45-50, but this doesn't ruin the gameplay at all.”
“The gameplay experience is engaging, even if it starts off with a lot of dialogue that may not seem relevant at first.”
“The game starts off with an overwhelming amount of dialogue about characters I don't know, jumping straight into the action without context. After a lot of mashing through text, I finally get to the gameplay, but none of the dialogue really mattered.”
“The gameplay feels bogged down by excessive dialogue that detracts from the experience. I found myself mashing through conversations just to get to the actual gameplay, which was frustrating.”
“There's too much focus on dialogue at the beginning, making it hard to engage with the gameplay. It takes a long time to get to the action, and by then, I was already disinterested.”
