The game's story revolves around a late-night security guard at a haunted mansion, featuring the urban legend of the slit-mouthed lady, which is delivered effectively through excellent voice acting. While the atmosphere and creepiness are praised, the narrative lacks depth and engagement, with multiple endings that feel unsatisfying and choices that do not significantly impact the experience. Overall, the storytelling is seen as the strongest element, but it ultimately falls short of creating a memorable or fulfilling experience.
- “It tells a creepy story of being a late-night security guard at a mansion haunted by an urban legend, the slit-mouthed lady.”
- “Excellent voice acting; as far as storytelling goes, it is delivered very well because of that and it gave quite a natural feeling.”
- “The game has its ups and downs; I enjoyed the overall story of the game and the enemy is creepy as hell. The game feels smooth and the graphics/atmosphere are amazing.”
- “Story wasn't anything that special to get engaged or attached to remember or talk about it, which is quite unfortunate because of the excellent voice acting.”
- “It indeed has 3 endings, none that really make you feel like you've accomplished anything different, the options are just yes, no, hit her with a bloody axe, and the story ending only slightly changes depending on which one you choose, it felt very bland.”
- “I was hoping this game would be more enjoyable but it just fell flat, from the story to the ridiculously easy puzzles, this game just left me with an empty feeling, I didn't feel accomplished at all.”

- “It plays very well on an older video card below their minimum recommendations, though it does flash some warnings when loading textures; nothing beyond that happens, and there is no hampering of gameplay.”
