The game's story is criticized for being minimal and often confusing, with point-and-click puzzles that feel disconnected from the plot. While the collectible video logs provide some narrative context, they do not form a cohesive story. However, the game is noted for its well-written narrative and high-quality film shots, making it an engaging experience despite its shortcomings in plot depth.
“There is a sense of adventure to the story of this game, so therefore it does warrant the adventure tag, in my opinion.”
“The quality of the film shots is really nice, and the story is well written.”
“Thus far, it's a seamless FMV/interactive game where your choices matter vis-a-vis progression of the storyline.”

“The collectible video logs are about the only thing to reference the plot, and even then, they're more elements of a plot than an actual cohesive story.”
“This is a game made to tell a story, not to provide a deep gameplay experience.”
