The game's story has received mixed reviews, with many players noting a disconnect between the narrative and the game's aesthetic, leading to confusion and a lack of cohesion. While some found the premise intriguing, the execution was often criticized for being bland, poorly paced, and hindered by subpar voice acting. Overall, the story serves as a basic framework for gameplay but fails to engage players fully, leaving them wanting a more compelling and polished narrative experience.
- “You start with a tragic backstory regarding a man driven mad with grief.”
- “The game follows a paranormal investigator looking for a missing girl and unraveling a story about a ghost along the way.”
- “The story is a detective tale set in the 1930s with a female protagonist, who has to solve a supernatural disappearance.”
- “The game’s environments also reflected a 19th century aesthetic, and this led me to two conclusions: either Dr. Magnus was a visitor from another time (he isn’t), or the developers failed to consider how he or the environments fit into the story.”
- “Add an utterly abysmal script and nonsensical story, and you're in for quite a ride.”
- “I found it was too quick to complete, the story was rather bland, and the female protagonist's voice acting was atrocious.”

The game's graphics are generally well-received, featuring a pleasing 19th-century aesthetic and decent visuals that enhance the overall experience.

Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the game's atmosphere, despite some minor criticisms regarding coherence and cursor accuracy.
- “At least it provides enjoyable content in this short while with nice-looking artwork, plus some simple, yet entertaining puzzles.”
- “I want to mention that the visuals in the game are well done.”
- “The scenes are graphically good and the mini-games are decent fun.”
- “Here’s hoping that if they dive into the genre again, they’ll take the time to brush up on their graphics skills and learn what it takes to create a cohesive setting that supports, rather than detracts from, the story.”
- “The game’s environments also reflected a 19th century aesthetic, and this led me to two conclusions: either Dr. Magnus was a visitor from another time (he isn’t), or the developers failed to consider how he or the environments fit into the story.”

The gameplay is characterized by classic hidden object mechanics, including puzzles and collectibles, but many players find it less engaging than expected, with some noting issues like poor voiceovers and a lack of variety in challenges. While the configuration menu offers a range of options, the overall experience is often described as disappointing, particularly in terms of story and enjoyment.
- “The game also has a nice configuration menu, with a bunch of options regarding the gameplay.”
- “I could see the mechanic being far more useful for a longer game with more varied or difficult collectibles.”
- “The gameplay is the classic one for a hidden object game: puzzles, hidden object scenes, collectibles to find, etc. Sometimes, I had a hard time finding objects because I could mistake the answer for another.”
- “While other aspects of the gameplay are less slipshod than this, they’re still not that much fun.”
- “Even if you don't normally mind bad voiceovers, it's awful enough here to distract from the actual gameplay.”

- “The soundtrack was also fitting.”
- “For the music fans: I like it, and it didn't bother me in the game.”

The humor in the game is hit-or-miss, with some lines falling flat and failing to deliver genuine laughs. While there are moments that could be considered amusing in a "so bad it's good" way, overall, the writing and dialogue do not consistently succeed in being funny.
