The story is praised for its engaging and intriguing plot, featuring a young officer navigating a conflict with an alien race while uncovering mysteries and secrets. Players appreciate the "choose your own adventure" style, which enhances replayability and allows for different endings, though some critics suggest it may appeal more to those less familiar with the sci-fi genre. Overall, the narrative is described as fun, well-structured, and complemented by appealing art.
- “The story was fun and interesting, and it didn't drag anything out with the puzzle-like APC missions. I still want to play through it again to see the other endings.”
