The game's story is engaging and unfolds progressively, offering a rollercoaster of intrigue, though some players wish it were longer. It is uniquely presented through various documents and descriptions rather than traditional cutscenes, which adds to the immersive experience. However, some players found more enjoyment in the endless mode than in the narrative itself.
