The game's story is generally described as short and underdeveloped, with many players expressing a desire for a more fleshed-out narrative and character depth. While some appreciate the noir theme and visual style, others find the plot lacking and feel it leaves too much to the player's imagination. Overall, the consensus suggests that with more story content and refinement, the game could significantly improve.
“It's nice and simple, and a good story, too, play it.”
“I love the noir theme, its visual style, and the storytelling.”
“This game is a microscopic scratch to the itch left by red hot vengeance (another indie shooter game) with its (short) intriguing story and beautiful 3 color aesthetics that make the world around you feel very dark, gloomy, and overall badass.”
“The story is quite thin and there is a lot left to the imagination of the player.”
“Honestly, I gotta say the game mechanics were fun to toy with, but there is absolutely no replay value and the story is too short.”
“It could have had more story, more use of the locations, and more difference between the bad guys and the crime bosses.”
