The game's story is primarily conveyed through a diary that many players found engaging, yet the overall narrative resolution is vague and unsatisfying. Players expressed frustration with the reliance on obscure puzzles and the lack of meaningful connections between gameplay and story elements, leading to a sense that the investigation aspect is largely optional. While the diary offers a compelling narrative, the game's structure leaves many story elements unresolved, diminishing the overall storytelling experience.
“By reading the diary, which contains a nicely written story, you can get a sense of what probably happened on the day somebody might have seen someone allegedly being harmed.”
“Basically, buying this game is buying a word document that tells a decent little story in diary form.”
“I played it for several hours this evening and mostly just read the diary, which was a great story.”
“Given there are countless things mentioned in this 25-page document, it seems ridiculous to me that I was supposed to latch onto that one throwaway detail that has no connection to the actual story and then spend hours outside the game experiencing that thing and then based on that decide that the answer to the game could be obtained by imitating someone involved in that thing.”
“And the game offers incredibly little in story resolution or detail to reward those psychics who are able to mind-read the game designer.”
“So how is it an investigation if the storyline is basically optional?”
