The story of the game is described as intriguing yet plagued by numerous issues, including bugs, confusing plot directions, and translation errors that hinder player engagement. While some players appreciate the unique ideas and unexpected plot twists, many find the overall narrative shallow and underdeveloped, leading to frustration with the gameplay experience. Despite its potential, the lack of polish and coherence in storytelling detracts significantly from the enjoyment of the game.
- “For how broken this game is, I didn't come out of it empty-handed as the main plot is really interesting.”
- “Your mileage may vary, but I found the story and characters interesting and liked the pin board that lets you keep track of your tasks visually.”
- “The way the story progressed definitely subverted my expectations, as did the ending, but having now seen the ending, I believe it puts the rest of the game into a decent perspective.”
- “Very pricey despite offering a confusing plot direction, translation issues, troublesome UI, broken achievements, and weird quests (like buying a donut to give to a cop so they'll allow you to go past them to a crime scene to see a dead body).”
- “Map, UI, and dialogue bugs are a common occurrence, with a very shallow story that is overall very short. Asking $10 for 1 hour of clicking with no substance at all is insane. The visuals are okay, but the thunderstorm sound effects are a 5-second looped audio, which becomes really tiring. Overall, it's not polished, and I can't recommend this even at a sale price.”
- “Between grammar issues, mismatched portraits to dialogue making conversations confusing, and the story seeming to jump around, I struggle to get attached to my character, especially as she goes from brightly saying 'hello!' to one person and yelling at another.”

While the aesthetic has potential, the execution leaves much to be desired, detracting from the overall experience.
- “The simple, noir comic book art style is effective.”
- “Great pixel artwork, point-and-click adventure, and several puzzle parts.”
- “I do like the aesthetic of having the crime board red string kind of guide you, but in execution, it's a mess.”
- “It seems like there is a decent story beyond all the underwhelming visuals (considering it being pixel art), and broken objective triggers, but it's not interesting enough to brute force through all that!”
