The game's story is widely praised for its gripping and immersive narrative, with many players finding it engaging and well-developed. However, the frequent mini-games required to progress often frustrate users, as they can disrupt the flow of the story and lead to feelings of being stuck or forced to spend money. Overall, while the storyline is compelling and has received positive feedback, the mini-games are a significant point of contention among players.
- “The story is fantastic, the puzzles are compelling, and the characters feel lifelike.”
- “Just completed the story and I loved it! The story is immersive, the characters are easily likeable, and it felt so real in places I cried, and the end, omg!!!”
- “I love the story and the characters; my only problem is when it comes to the mini games they are difficult to beat, and every time I try clicking on the watch an ad for 3 more turns, it glitches and says I lost a life.”
- “You have to do so many waves of puzzles for little story progression.”
- “I'm stuck on a cliffhanger after completing episode 4 and I'm so anxious for how the story will end.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive reliance on ads, particularly during challenging mini-games that often require watching multiple ads to progress. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for extra moves, they report frequent glitches and inconsistencies in ad rewards, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab. Overall, players feel that the balance between free play and monetization could be improved, as the current model often disrupts gameplay and immersion.
- “No ads interrupting the experience if you don't agree to them.”
- “I'm really enjoying it, and most of the time you can answer using questions that don't require you to make in-game purchases to choose good choices.”
- “I hope it's able to be finished without gross manipulation to make in-app purchases.”
- “The story itself actually feels nicely paced, I've played it for about an hour and didn't want to put my phone down, that is.. until you reach the 'hacking' minigames, that are very clearly designed just to force ads upon ads onto you. I would honestly rather the game make me watch like 10 ads on a row at these intervals than be roadblocked by this 'minigame'. It's frustrating and really ruins the overall immersion of it all; unfortunately, I can't recommend people try it.”
- “It started off really fun, it even said it was completely free and you didn't need to spend money if you didn't want to, which was a complete lie because you have to spend money and watch minutes of ads in order to pass the puzzle, which are way too hard as well.”
- “I spent a not insignificant amount of money for a 'full game' and still I have to sit around watching ads to complete these badly designed 'hacking games' that only really exist to milk ads out of you?”

The gameplay is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its engaging mechanics and the impact of their choices on the story.

Overall, the combination of a compelling storyline and interactive gameplay keeps players invested, despite some minor issues.
- “Love the gameplay, and the storylines and characters are compelling.”
- “The realistic WhatsApp style gameplay has kept me engaged and wanting to play until the end to see what happens.”
- “It's an amazing game, your choices really affect the gameplay and you don't have to pay at all.”

- “Could be the best story in the world, but I hate the Candy Crush side quest games (the hacking mechanic), hate the amount of ads there are if I need extra turns, and it's not really worth waiting an entire day to get more hearts to get stuck over and over again. It's not worth paying for extra hearts or anything in games like this.”
- “The gameplay was okay.”
grinding

Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience. While some mini-games, particularly the hacking, are described as tedious and sometimes frustrating, many appreciate that the game does not require excessive grinding or a battle pass system, allowing for a more relaxed gameplay experience focused on the story. However, the repetitive nature of certain tasks can detract from the overall enjoyment for some players.
- “The hack game is luck, more than strategy, and too tedious and not fun.”
- “Played both this and the sign; both are really good and keep you engrossed in their stories, but for me, the hacking in both games is the downfall. Without the tedious mini games, I would have rated it 5, but due to said mini games, it's only 3 stars for me. They should be optional rather than forced to progress in the story.”
- “As it stands: very cool game, but the hacking game gets very tedious after a while.”
