The story of the game is generally viewed as inconsistent and lacking depth, with many reviewers noting abrupt endings and plot holes that detract from the overall experience. While some appreciate the unique blend of genres and the initial promise of the narrative, others criticize it for being confusing and poorly executed, often feeling disjointed and lacking a cohesive arc. Overall, the story is seen as a mixed bag, with some enjoyable elements overshadowed by its shortcomings.
- “A game dedicated to the main designer, who apparently died before release, it is the most hardcore of the casual adventure games I have tried so far, with Myst-like puzzles inspired by decades of puzzle games while the story goes wild between low fantasy to hard sci-fi.”
- “The story starts out very promising - you're a researcher on an alien planet who needs to take your partner back to Earth for medical treatment after an accident, but while navigating your spacecraft back to Earth, you crash land on other planets and find yourself in different time periods.”
- “The story is, at least, different from the standard hidden object fare, which makes a change and adds to its appeal.”
- “The story is appallingly ridiculous.”
- “The story jumps from one thing to another like someone rambling in unrelated phrases that only connect or have context in their head.”
- “Unfortunately, the story is not well fleshed out and the characters are very one-dimensional, all leading up to an abrupt ending.”

- “The art style of the characters is inconsistent, and the hint system was sometimes poorly implemented.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many users highlighting issues such as broken puzzles, clunky mechanics, and frustrating backtracking that detract from the overall experience.

Overall, the gameplay is considered short and inconsistent, with significant room for improvement.
- “Actually good adventure/HOG mix with enjoyable gameplay and good graphics, but the story left a lot to be desired and the ending felt really abrupt - like there were other planets planned originally but were ultimately scrapped due to budget/time limit.”
- “That being said though, the gameplay itself was pretty okay.”
- “While I'm aware that the game wasn't developed by English-speaking people, I can't let translation that affects gameplay slide.”
- “Some of the puzzles were actually mechanically broken.”
- “Clunky UI, constant backtracking, and the introduction of new mechanics for object tasks without notice lead to frustrating gameplay. Many puzzles also suffer from moon logic.”
