The story in this game receives mixed feedback, with many criticizing its weak writing, poor acting, audio issues, and confusing plot elements likened to a low-quality "Squid Game" knockoff.

However, a few players find the psychological thriller aspects engaging and the story enjoyable despite its flaws.
