The story is criticized for being short and lacking depth, with limited choices that detract from the experience, especially for a game inspired by "The Stanley Parable." Reviewers feel that while the premise has potential, it ultimately feels flat and underdeveloped.
- “You can tell that it's made by a college student; it's very short, and there aren't a lot of choices, which is pretty bad for a game inspired by The Stanley Parable. I didn't really like the story; it felt a bit flat and too quick to me. I think the story could be pretty good if it were more fleshed out.”
