The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players criticizing it for lacking originality and depth, particularly in its use of Lovecraftian elements and humor. However, others found the writing engaging and the world-building immersive, noting that the narrative is absorbing and filled with side quests that enhance replayability. Overall, while some aspects may feel derivative, many players appreciate the humor and the entertaining storytelling.
“The writing is well done, the story development is amazing so far.”
“Not to mention, the story is quite absorbing -- after playing for a while it became hard to stop -- despite the fact that the game certainly does not take itself too seriously, it's difficult not to get wrapped up in the world building and story arc.”
“All in all, this is a funny, absorbing game -- despite what seem like budgetary issues with the voice cast not returning, I would very much recommend this game to anyone who likes an engaging parody story.”
“On the matter of plot and substance, this has little to none.”
“The favorite subject of all amateur developers, the corpse of H.P. Lovecraft has once more been exhumed so that a craptastic ripoff of his works could be created. Much like amateur developers typically lack the capability to come up with their own game designs and quality assets, they're also usually unable to come up with original plot ideas, and this trash heap is no exception.”
“The humor is way less inspired; the use of 'Cthulhu mythos' elements felt irrelevant as the art and story status of the beings are way less connected to their original counterparts than in the first one. The dialogue options felt more random and even more like a game of Trivial Pursuit than something related to the story or characters.”
