The game's story is set in a well-crafted environment inspired by a haunted attraction, featuring a detailed narrative that enhances the atmosphere and character development. While the storyline is engaging and complements the overall experience, it is not the primary focus of the game.
- “I am a 5-year veteran haunt actor for Terror in the Corn in Eerie, Colorado, and this game sets the pace for a whole Ravens Gulch town, Wells Hotel, and cornfield storyline. We have very detailed elements that are close to what we have at the actual haunt!”
- “Great atmosphere, great characters, great scares, and a pretty decent story, although that isn't the main focus.”
- “The story feels disjointed and lacks a coherent narrative, making it hard to stay engaged.”
- “The characters are one-dimensional and fail to evoke any real emotional connection.”
- “The plot twists are predictable and do not add any depth to the overall experience.”

The humor in the game is likened to a "Tom and Jerry" cartoon, featuring amusing scenarios like characters running in place and silly jump scares, particularly from a comical scarecrow. This blend of fun and horror adds a lighthearted touch to the otherwise realistic gameplay set in a large cornfield.
- “This creates a funny effect, as if you’re in a 'Tom and Jerry' cartoon – running in place and inching forward.”
- “It's a very fun, extremely realistic horror game with a large cornfield map, many structures, and very silly jumpscares, especially the funny scarecrow guy.”
