While it features a branching narrative, players found the plot unengaging and lacking in depth, leading to a disappointing overall experience.

“Has a branching story.”
“In the spirit underneath, you play as an unnamed man who awakens in a mysterious graveyard, with no idea who he is and how he got there, as you try to piece together the story and escape hell.”
“Both sides of the story are boring and not very entertaining.”
“It's absolutely terrible and when you read the first note you already can easily guess how the story plays out.”
“The story doesn't make any sense.”
