The game's story is a mixed bag, featuring a non-linear narrative with multiple endings that can be engaging and atmospheric, yet at times feels confusing and predictable due to its reliance on obscure references. While some players appreciate the compelling elements and the effort put into writing and narration, others find themselves disconnected from key plot points, leading to a lack of investment in the story's intense moments. Overall, it serves as a solid interactive experience, particularly for fans of visual novels, but may leave some feeling that they missed significant components.

- “Maybe 1/4 through the game, the story referred to people, events, and objects that I had never come into contact with.”

- “There is a real effort on writing, atmosphere, and quality of narration but at the same time the story is banal and predictable.”
