26 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story revolves around a young orphan girl named Sarah who wakes up in a strange house and must uncover the mystery of her aunt while being pursued by an evil spirit. However, many players find the narrative poorly structured and lacking coherence, with some expressing frustration over its execution and the emotional weight of the plot. Overall, while the premise has potential, the storytelling leaves much to be desired, with calls for more depth and cut scenes.
