The story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it intense and engaging, while others criticize its rushed pacing and choppy writing. Themes of mental health and plot twists are present, but many feel these elements are underdeveloped, making the narrative hard to follow. Overall, it appeals to those looking for a quick, story-driven experience rather than a traditional game.
“Whoa, an intense story for sure!”
“But besides that, the story itself was overwhelming!”
“I actually liked this story.”
“Honestly kind of a cool story, but the telling of it is not great and feels rushed.”
“And I just do not like the story at all... it is sadistic (and I am not about physical violence), perhaps this is how our heroine sees the world.”
“Because of Mei's split personality disorder, it makes the story harder to follow than it should have been.”
