While the storytelling is enhanced by artistic visuals and voice-overs, many reviewers noted that significant plot developments are conveyed through cutscenes rather than gameplay, which can disrupt pacing.

    • “I was never gripped by the story of the mysterious mansion and the invitation to it; each area also had a transition scene, further adding to this feeling.”
    • “I wish the story was also told through playing the game and solving the puzzles, but instead much of the major story beats are told in cutscenes between the puzzles, which feels forced and strangely paced.”
    • “Story had too many holes/too few details and relied too much on trying to wring some emotion out of me to be that satisfying.”

    • “I loved the style of the graphics and the way movement and action were created in a point-and-click world that relied on text for storytelling.”
    • “This game makes me feel like I'm playing with a matryoshka doll, uncovering a Rubik's cube inside, and then discovering a small box with a number lock, all beautifully wrapped in a stunning noir art style, with suspenseful music playing in the background.”

    • “What makes the game stand out is how it turns reading into gameplay.”
    • “Each of the five chapters introduces unique mechanics that make them feel fresh.”
    • “Decently made, but puzzles will be frustrating for some as the logic is not always apparent and the hints are bad at times; also the mechanics are not entirely polished.”
    • “[u]Why you shouldn't:[/u] It's very short, the puzzles can be frustrating, mechanics are a little awkward, the story isn't that great or as well thought out, and some may find the sledgehammer feminist stance a little off-putting.”
    • “Gameplay: good, a little buggy sometimes.”

This inefficiency contributes to an overall sense of inflated gameplay, making the experience feel more laborious than enjoyable.
